Upee, also known as Upé or Upi, is a geographic location situated in the state of Acre, Brazil. It is a municipality within the Mesoregion of Vale do Juruá and the Microregion of Tarauacá. The municipality's economy is largely based on agriculture and cattle ranching. Historically, the region has seen periods of rubber extraction and subsequent development influenced by the Amazonian rubber boom.

The area is characterized by its Amazon rainforest environment, with typical biodiversity of the region. The Urucu River, a tributary of the Juruá River, flows through or near the municipality, playing a significant role in the local ecosystem and transportation. The population of Upee is predominantly rural, with livelihoods tied to the natural resources of the Amazon.

Like many municipalities in the Amazon basin, Upee faces challenges related to infrastructure, access to services, and environmental conservation. Efforts are often directed towards sustainable development practices that balance economic needs with the preservation of the rainforest. The cultural landscape reflects the influences of indigenous peoples, early settlers, and migrants who have shaped the region over time. Information regarding specific cultural traditions or unique historical events associated with Upee is less widely documented compared to larger urban centers.
