tubiacanga is an unofficial neighborhood of rio de janeiro with one of the lowest profiles in the city, though not for a lack of charm and history - it is located in the farthest part of the north zone of the city, on ilha do governador, in close proximity to the newest part of the international airport antônio carlos jobim.

the neighborhood was in large part populated by the former residents of the são bento beach area, who lived parallel to the beginning of the estrada do galeão - this was the result of the expansion of the international airport during the late 1940s.
