Manaus City & Amazon River Tour
- Connect with your tour guide, who will pick you up from your hotel to start the itinerary.
- Begin by heading towards the historical center of Manaus to see the facades of the buildings with the marks of neoclassic style that was the look of Manaus during the rubber boom.
- Go through an area called "the old Manaus", which can give a clear understanding of the rich era that our region held.
- Visit the Amazonas Opera House and understand how so many materials and artists were brought from Europe to the jungle to build a place that remains a symbol of this beautiful era.
- Then, move to the market complex to see the three buildings known as the banana market, the fish market and the municipal market, each holding its unique beauty.
- See the Rio Negro Palace that was intended to be a rubber baron's house but ended up becoming the government's office.
- Now, drive to the port and take a speedboat to visit the most impressive phenomenon of the two rivers that run side by side without mixing their waters. We'll have a comprehensive explanation on this fact.
- Next, go to the floating village where all the houses, school, churches, bars, restaurants etc., are all built on logs to float on the lake.
- Disembark at a floating fish farm and have an encounter with the biggest species of fish with scales in fresh water in the world, te famous pirarucu (arapaima gigas). Play with them with a fishing rod without hooks to not hurt them.
- Afterwards, get back to the boat for a nice ride upstream, heading to the lake Janauary to visit the lake with waterlilies.
- Later, walk on a suspended walkway as high as the canopy of the trees and witness the biggest species of tree in the Amazon.
