Icoaraci is one of the eight districts in which the municipality of Belém, capital of the state of Pará, in Brazil, is divided. It is located approximately 20 km from the center of the state capital and has around 200,000 inhabitants, according to the IBGE. It is situated near the Outeiro island, which can be accessed by boat at the port of 7th street or by a bridge. In Icoaraci you can also take daily ferries to Marajó Island and boats to Cotijuba Island, which can only be reached this way. The district center comprises the neighborhoods Águas Negras, Agulha, Campina de Icoaraci, Cruzeiro, Maracacuera, Paracuri, Parque Guajará, Xiteua, Recanto Verde, COHAB, Ponta Grossa, Pratinha, and several residential areas. It has a Human Development Index (HDI) lower than many African countries and regions at war, such as Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. Its original nucleus, from which it expanded, retains the terms travessas (English: lane) and ruas (English: streets), the latter called daily in the order of their foundation: 1st, 2nd, and so on until it reaches 7th street.
