Barcelos, located on the banks of the Rio Negro, reveals a stunning landscape in the Amazon. Founded in 1758 as a village, its origins date back to the Portuguese colonial era, driven by mineral and commercial exploration in the region. Located about 400 km from Manaus, it is a strategic point on the banks of the Rio Negro, surrounded by dense tropical forests and rich biodiversity.
Arrive in Barcelos in approximately 1 hour from Manaus on the King Air B260 turboprop. Recognized as the "Sports Fishing Capital of the World", the city attracts fans in search of the legendary peacock bass. We recommend exploring the Negro and Aracá rivers on exciting fishing expeditions. Visit Forte São João, a historic landmark in the region.
