Discover the Beating Heart of the Amazon

Nestled within the lush greenery of the world's largest rainforest lies Manaus, a vibrant urban oasis that serves as the perfect base for exploring the natural wonders, unique flavors, and rich culture of the Amazon. As the capital of Amazonas state, Manaus flourished during the rubber boom era of the late 19th century, leaving behind architectural gems like the iconic Amazonas Theater.

Today, Manaus pulses with the energy of its indigenous Manaós roots. Immerse yourself in its lively markets selling regional specialties like açaí and cupuaçu. And venture outside the city for truly transformational experiences amid the rainforest's astounding landscapes.

Surrounded by the powerful Amazon River, Manaus provides easy access to memorable encounters with the rainforest's spectacular beauty:

• Relax on the sandy shores of Praia Ponta Negra, a popular freshwater beach retreat for locals.
• Get mesmerized by the Meeting of the Waters, where the black Rio Negro mingles with the creamy Rio Solimões.
• Unwind in the lush greenery of the Adolpho Ducke Botanical Garden, an oasis within the city.
• Glide down tranquil rivers on boat tours, spotting colorful birds flitting through treetop canopies.
• Paddleboard across glassy waters in breathtaking Anavilhanas National Park.
• Overnight in eco-lodges for an immersive rainforest experience with modern comforts.

Reach the gateway to the Amazon with ease via Eduardo Gomes International Airport, located just 10 miles from downtown Manaus. Connecting flights arrive daily from destinations throughout Brazil and abroad.

Getting around Manaus itself is simple and convenient. Hop on frequent public buses to zip between top attractions. Catch affordable taxis at marked stands throughout the city. Or rent a car from the airport to explore independently. The organized network of well-paved roads makes self-driving stress-free.

Whether you fly or drive, arriving in Manaus places the rich natural and cultural treasures of the Amazon basin literally at your doorstep. From here, immerse yourself in the magic of this incredible region, venturing as far into the rainforest's depths as your sense of wonder takes you.

Steeped in history yet pulsating with modern energy, Belém captivates visitors with its unique fusion of cultures and landscapes. Founded in 1616 at the mouth of the mighty Amazon River, this colorful city served as a trading post during Brazil's gold rush and rubber boom eras, amassing architectural gems that still line its streets.

Wander through the historic center's colorful plazas and waterfront promenades. Admire Neo-Gothic and Neoclassical structures blending European and indigenous influences. Sample dishes infused with native açaí, cupuaçu and other Amazon ingredients in bustling market halls.

As the capital of Pará state, Belém acts as an important economic and cultural hub for the region. Its position between the Atlantic Ocean and vast rainforest allows exploration of both. Take boat tours through winding waterways fringed with mangroves and rainforests. Or escape to beaches and nature reserves mere hours away.

Embedded within Guajará Bay's archipelago of scenic islands, Belém invites discovery of its storied past and vibrant present and a taste of Amazonia's ecological and culinary delights. Immerse yourself in the rhythms of this enchanting tropical city rich with history, nature, and delectable regional specialties.
