Day 100! Macapá, Brazil … Crystal Serenity World Cruise

Day 100 Friday April 24, 2015 Macapá, Brazil

Straddling the equator, Macapá hosts a large obelisk-shaped sundial marking the equatorial line and a sports stadium with seats in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. This Amapá state capital on the Rio Amazonas also boasts a large Portuguese-built fort constructed between 1764 and 1782. The area’s natural attractions are numerous, thanks to Macapá’s Amazon location. The remote Guiana Amazonian Park, accessible only by air or water, is ideally suited not only for its protected animals but also for intrepid adventurers who relish the idea of taking a small, flat-bottomed boat called a pirogue into its wildlife-rich environs.
