A Quilombo in Amapá. A quilombo (Portuguese pronunciation:; from the Kimbundu word kilombo, lit. ' war camp ') is a Brazilian hinterland settlement founded by people of African origin, and others sometimes called Carabali. Most of the inhabitants of quilombos, called quilombolas, were maroons, a term for escaped slaves.
Quilombo was a community of fugitive slaves in colonial Brazil, often located in remote areas and supported by farming and raiding. The largest and most famous quilombo was Palmares, which became an autonomous republic and resisted Portuguese and Dutch attacks.
