Manaus, located on the banks of the Negro River, is an Amazonian city with impressive landscapes. Founded in 1669 as the Fort of São José do Rio Negro, its origins date back to Portuguese colonization and the defense of the region against invaders. The city is surrounded by the dense rainforest, with incomparable biodiversity and majestic rivers. The meeting of the dark waters of the Negro River with the muddy waters of the Solimões River, forming the Amazon River, is a natural spectacle of rare beauty.
Manaus is the ideal destination to discover and be enchanted by the Amazon Rainforest. Relax at the luxurious Hotel Tropical Manaus, a five-star resort. Explore the iconic Teatro Amazonas and be enchanted by the Encontro das Águas, where the Negro and Solimões rivers meet. The marinas on the banks of the Amazon River, such as Marina do Davi, offer exclusive river trips and stunning ecological itineraries. Try the Banzeiro restaurant, famous for sophisticated dishes such as tambaqui and pirarucu.
