Manaus

Manaus is the capital of Amazonas, Brazil, and the largest city in the Amazon rainforest. Home to over 2.2 million people, it’s a major hub in the North Region, strategically located at the confluence of the Negro and Amazon rivers. Founded in the 17th century, Manaus evolved from a small fort into a significant economic center, driven today by the expansive Industrial Park of Manaus – a Free Economic Zone.

The city offers a unique blend of urban life and rainforest access, with an international airport and a diverse economy. Expect a vibrant, bustling atmosphere alongside opportunities to explore the surrounding natural wonders.
