Georef. RemarksParintins is surrounded by several lakes. I couldn't find the specific location of the Lago do Maximo, but I found two sets of coordinates to place the locality. One is closer to the city and the Igarape do Castanhal and the other farther from the city closer to the Pa do Ramos. I decided to plot the locality in a middle point between those with an uncertainty embracing several water bodies.
