Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Transfer to Manaus
This morning, you will be transferred to the airport for your flight to Manaus. On arrival, a private vehicle will take you to your hotel, where you will spend the night before continuing your journey into the Amazon. If time allows, a guided tour of Manaus can be arranged. The city grew during the rubber boom in the late nineteenth century and still retains much of its character from that time. A visit to the famous Teatro Amazonas opera house is recommended, a striking building that reflects the prosperity of that era. Another stop could be the Adolpho Lisboa Municipal Market, located by the port, where a wide variety of local produce is sold. You will find everything from exotic fruits and medicinal herbs to large freshwater fish brought in from the Amazon River. This market remains an important hub for the local community and offers a glimpse into everyday life. After the tour, return to your hotel to relax and prepare for the next part of your trip. Manaus provides a practical and interesting starting point for those heading into the surrounding rainforest, combining historical features with the energy of a working river city.
