Iguaçu Falls to Manaus
Today, you'll transfer to the airport for your flight to Manaus. On arrival, a private vehicle will take you to your hotel, where you’ll stay for the night before heading into the Amazon the following day. Depending on your arrival time, a short guided visit of the city centre can be arranged. Manaus grew rapidly in the late 1800s during the rubber boom, and many of its key landmarks date from that period. One of the most well-known is the Teatro Amazonas, an opera house that remains an important part of the city's cultural scene. Its design and materials reflect the wealth and global connections of the time, with marble, glass, and tiles imported from Europe. Another point of interest is the Adolpho Lisboa Municipal Market, located in the port area. It's a great place for a casual stroll, where you can see a wide range of goods from the region—fresh fruit, local herbs, and large river fish typical of the Amazon basin. After the tour, return to your hotel to rest ahead of your journey into the forest. The evening is free for a relaxed dinner or walk nearby, depending on your preference.
