Best things to do in Amazonas
Find out more about those top places in Amazonas
Amazonas is the vast heart of Brazil. More than four times the size of Germany, this Brazilian state is home to a dazzling array of rainforest flora and fauna and is where the world’s longest and largest river, the Amazon, is formed. Despite this, Amazonas remains a hidden gem all too often skipped over by travelers who stick to the country’s eastern seaboard. A tour of Amazonas inevitably starts in Manaus, a gritty port city incongruously located in the middle of pristine wilderness thousands of miles from any ocean. While Manaus has its charms, it is primarily a gateway to the rainforest where Amazon River cruises and jungle tours depart. To experience the Amazon of your dreams, excursions to the remote Mamirauá Reserve and Reserva Extrativista Baixo Rio Branco-Jauaperi are a must.
