Manaus Essentials

Manaus showcases the opulence of the late 19th-century rubber trade through landmarks like the Renaissance-style Amazon Theatre and the Art Nouveau Adolpho Lisboa Municipal Market.

Natural exploration continues at the Anavilhanas archipelago and the Bosque da Ciência research center, while the rubber industry's history is preserved at the Museu do Seringal Vila Paraíso.
