Manaus – Amazon

The Amazonas state is located in the middle of Brazilian’s Northern Region having the largest equatorial forest in the world (1,564,445km²). The climate is tropical, hot and humid, with average temperatures of 31.4°C (56.5°F), the rainy season is from December to May and Rio Negro (Black River) reaches its highest level in June and its lowest in September. The monthly average of precipitation in Manaus is 210 mm.
The vegetation is dense and heterogeneous, comprising of a fantastic biodiversity, it hides species unknown by science yet, and covers 90% of all area of the Amazonas States.
Manaus, whose name originated from the Manaos Indians, which inhabited the region, is situated on the left bank of the Rio Negro, close to the meeting of the waters with Rio Solimões (Solimões River) waters. The point where the Rio Negro meets the Rio Solimões leads a spectacular phenomenon. The black water of the Negro River runs side by side with the creamy coloured water of the Solimões River for about 4 to 6 kilometers without mixing, due to the different water characteristics (temperature – density – speed), before forming the magnificent Amazon River.
Ecotourism is a fast growing niche type of tourism.

There are several ways to see the wonders of the Amazon: hotels, lodges and boat tours. We consider that the best way to see and enjoy nature, especially on the amazing waterways of the Amazon, is to be agile in this wonderful environment and to be always in the midst of the jungle, especially at dawn and dusk.
