2 Days Manaus Heart of the Amazon Tour Package
Duration: 2 Days / 1 Nights
Priced From: $354 pp dbl. occ.
 Manaus (pop. 1.2 million), capital of Brazil's massive Amazonas state, was founded in 1669. During the past century's rubber boom Manaus became one of the world's most prosperous cities, and the opulence of those days may still be appreciated viewing the city's magnificent Teatro Amazonas Opera House.
After competition slowed the rubber industry, the city fell into decline. Today, however, Manaus is thriving once again as the Upper Amazon's transportation hub and distribution center. For visitors daily river cruises and boat transfers depart to jungle lodges situated one to five hours from the city. Once in the jungle, activities include jungle hikes, night outings, piranha fishing, camping, boat tours, and wildlife viewing.

HD City Tour - Manaus is the capital of the State of Amazon. Located in the banks of Rio Negro, it was founded in 1669 and was a slumbering little equatorial town until the second half of the 19th century, when it awoke to become a major supplier of natural rubber to the industrialized world. Imposing edifices were built using materials imported from Europe; the Amazon Theatre (Opera House) designed by the Italian Domenico de Angelis, the Rio Negro Palace is now the site of the Amazon Government, and the Municipal Market (inaugurated in 1882) is a copy of the extinct Les Halles Market in Paris). Today Manaus is a modern city, the departing city for exploring the Amazon Jungle.
