Welcome to Manaus, the main Amazonian city of Brazil! Your driver will come to pick you up at the airport to bring you to your hotel.

Manaus, 2 nights

Your English-speaking guide will pick you up at the hotel for a half-day city tour. The Amazon State capital could be a common city if it wasn’t situated in the heart of the rainforest: its air is saturated with humidity and the huge Rio Negro (river) is impressive wheather it is seen from the Ponta Negra beach or from the floating harbor. A few kilometers ahead, the Rio Negro joins the Rio Solimões to form the Amazon River, before it becomes one with the Atlantic Ocean. The first stop will be the Amazon Theatre (closed on Mondays), on the ceiling of which you will see the Eiffel Tower viewed from the ground. Then, you will reach the floating harbor designed by English engineers at the beginning of the XXth century: a real technological achievement at the time. Finally, the guide will bring you to the market, where you could be tempted to go back by yourself in the morning, to witness the dockers discharging fruits, vegetables and especially huge fishes. Return to the hotel after the city tour. Read more
