Manaus is situated in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest, 900 miles (1, 450 km) inland from the Atlantic coast. The city, on a terrace overlooking the river, is traversed by several side channels called Igarapés ("canoe paths"), which are spanned by bridges and divide it into separate compartments.

Our tour starts from your hotel from where we will head to the historical center of Manaus, you'll be able to see the facades of the buildings with the marks of neo classic style that was the look of Manaus during the rubber boom. We'll go through an area called "the old Manaus" which can give a clear understanding of the rich era that our region held. We'll 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. We'll head to the market complex to see the three buildings know as the banana market, the fish market and the municipal market, each holding its unique beauty.
