aapiranga

Updated: May 3, 2025

The country near Point Cajetuba is similar to the neighbourhood of Santarem namely, campos with scattered trees. We gathered a large quantity of wild fruit: Caju, Umiri, and Aapiranga. The Aapiranga is a bright vermilion-coloured berry, with a hard skin and a sweet viscid pulp enclosing the seeds.
