What is "cabucu"

Cabuçu is a neighbourhood in the city of Itaboraí, Rio de Janeiro Brazil. It is part of the 6th district along with Curuzu and São José.

It is a typical rural district, with small and medium farms. It borders the neighborhoods of São José, Badureco and Largo da Idéia, the latter being part of the municipality of São Gonçalo.

Most of its population is religious (especially evangelicals), so the neighborhood has many churches, a total of 25 churches, the most important being the chapel of Nossa Senhora Aparecida located next to the DPO (Detachment Policing Ostensibly Cabuçu) that makes the neighborhood processions every year on October 12 (Day of Our Lady Aparecida). Another important church in the neighborhood is the Evangelical Congregational Church located in an area farther from the shopping district.
