This is an amazing structure for this small Brazilian town. According to our guide all type of events including carnivals are held inside. Our tour stop was for just a few minutes and there was entrance to the inside. The entire neighborhood looked very festive with lots of eating and drinking establishments.

This great waterfall is one of many in the Presidente Figueredo area, and is reached by road, using the BR-174 (Federal Highway), and is about 140Km from Manaus. The drive is great, the road good, and the place a small sanctuary, with intact preserved jungle -a must, if you have the means! A close encounter with nature.

Had the opportunity to visit the national park while staying at the Anavilhanas Lodge. The park is massive and is being protected by the Brazilian government. There is no fishing allowed, trees may not be cut or scarred, and no hunting. There is an abundance of wildlife, and it is truly awesome.

This magnificent theater, crowned with a tiled mosaic dome in the colors of the Brazilian flag, features operas and other artistic Performances.

This is a nicely restored old opera house that nearly was destroyed instead of restored a few years ago------it is ashamed how some communities will destroy their heritage. My only regret is that there are not many Performances that you can actually attend here. It is well worth your time to tour it

I came to this place during rainy season, the big water volume and the strong water flow is very impressive. It is surrounded by forest around make it so pristine. To dip on the river is very refreshing, the water is cold but very refreshing

Unusual meeting of the Amazon and Solimoes rivers

It's really quite amazing how the to rivers just don't mix. It is something that you really should see.

Although it´s named Cachoeira (=Waterfall) it is not a water fall. It is a rapid where you can bathe and relax. They have a nice area for camping. Definitely recommend it.

This building is very pretty. It was built in the late 1800s, which seems pretty old based on how European it looks. My tour guide was good. His English was decent, but he spoke softly. But at R$10, it was definitely worth the entry fee.
9. Arquipelago de Anavilhanas

Reviewed By Worldlywisdom - London, England
The Anavilhanas is an amazing natural wonder - a network of Islands that are 'flooded forests' every year in the wet season, before becoming actual Islands in the dry season. The Rio Negro is many kilometres wide in this section and when we went (early August), there were still wide waterways between patches of Forests although I was told that the water level drops quickly until October.
Our trip into the Anavilhanas was by boat and a little bit of trekking into the forest. Because it was during the late morning, there was little wildlife to see except the occasional bird. The acidic Rio Negro is not that hospitable to life so there are few fish around and consequently few other predators. We stopped by at the park rangers lodge and a village on the riverbank called Santo Antonio which I think are common stops on a trip to the Anavilhanas.
If you want to see more than foliage and water, it may be worth paying more for a longer multi-day tour into the archipelago. Also remember that the rainforest here is not typical Amazon basin rainforest because of the fact that it is flooded for some of the year. We stayed in Novo Airao for our trip

Reviewed By Stone_Manaus - Manaus, AM
Manaus had its first financial climax during the rubber export boom.
During this period, Manaus became the Paris of the jungle. An amazing, well preserved and safe example is the area around the Amazon Theater (Opera House). There is a complex of historical buildings, and some of them became either cutural spaces or museums.
During the day is very crowded with locals and tourists. Good for regular tours.
At night, the main street "Eduardo Ribeiro" is quite safe, with some good bars and restaurants. It a good place to relax and wlk around. Talking to locals is a little hard (but you must try), but you´ll find many tourist relaxing, eating a pizza (SPLASH pizza place), so you can talk, share experiences and good tips.
