NORTH REGION

AMAZONIA & MANAUS

Manaus is the capital of Brazil’s largest state, Amazonas, and is located in the Northwest of the country. It is an ideal starting point when 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 Solimões River, flowing side by side without mixing for several miles. Visitors can also explore riverbanks and streams, swim and canoe in placid lakes or simply walk in the lush forest. Those in search of real adventures may even choose to go deep into the jungle and experience the Brazilian Amazon and all its flora and fauna face-to-face.

BELEM

Belem is the capital of the State of Pará, and is located on the southern side of the Amazon River. It serves as the main entrance to the Amazon region as well as an important commercial and economic center. During the 19th century rubber boom, the city served as the main port of the region. The famous “Ver-o-Peso” market, designed and built in England, as well the Catholic Churches and the “Peace Theater” are reminders of that era. Nowadays the modern airport regularly receives flights from the United States, Latin America and most Brazilian cities.
