Manaus serves as the capital of Brazil’s largest state, Amazonas, and is located in the Northwest of the country. It is also an ideal point of departure for visiting the rest of the Amazon region.
Tour boats leave Manaus to see the Meeting of the Waters, where the black waters of the Negro River meet the white waters of the Solimoes River, flowing side by side without mixing for several miles. Visitors can also explore riverbanks and "igarapes", swim and canoe in placid lakes or simply walk in the lush forest.
The most adventurous may even choose to venture deep into the jungle to spend time in the jungle and experience the Brazilian Amazon and all its flora and fauna face-to-face.
