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.
