Manaus offers a rich variety of nature, culture, art and dining. Explore the lush vegetation of Amazonian jungle on a guided backpacking or river tour, or sample the colorful bounty of the Mercado Adolpho Lisboa.

Paradise that must visited in this life. Wonderful beaches with white sand, picnic in beautiful places, invigorating sunset river bath in the company of porpoises.

Parque Ecologico Janauari

A visit to this 9000-acre park is an Amazon-like experience, with dry and flooded forests and lowlands, and numerous examples of giant water lilies measuring as much as seven feet in diameter.

There was a lot of walking, especially to the alligators. The museum within the grounds had very interesting exhibits and it was slightly cooler inside. Our guide, Rainier, was excellent. A native hut sold local craft work.

Meeting of Waters

Unusual meeting of the Amazon and Solimoes rivers

Reviewed By myom624 - Coquitlam, Canada

"Fun & fulfilling" is just how I would describe this tour on the Rio Negro River (with also compliments to its "well-organized" nature) from its starting point near the Manaus Port Terminal right at about 9 am followed by about an hour of some nice views along the waterfront (including those of the port machinery, what maybe some "colorful favelas" of Manaus & the "long bridge" over the Rio Negro) to the first stop at the "fairly wide" confluence area of the black-watered Rio Negro & the brown-watered Amazon (for a "quite sufficient" time allowance of about 10 minutes to see), then a short 5-to-10-minute ride to the second stop at some "floating structure" with some mini-ponds full of "quite sizeable" fish where yes the interesting thing some people did was to buy small fish available for sale and feed them to those big fish (for about half an hour with also some souvenir shops to browse), then about a half-hour ride to the third stop for a buffet lunch with some small "nature walk" along the raised boardwalk nearby just before lunch (for a little over an hour in total and where there were also some big tables with souvenirs for sale although I found the costs "quite a bit" more for similar items compared to Adolpho Lisboa Market back at the Manaus waterfront), then the ride for the "longest stretch" of about 1.5 hours to the fourth stop for a swim with "pink dolphins" which were just 5-minute sessions in small groups of like 5 or 6 people but yes which for me was the "most fulfilling" part of this tour being just "amazingly up close" with 3 or 4 of them in that precious allotted time (for about an hour at the stop where yes it was also great to enjoy seeing other groups do the same after my group), then a short ride of 5 to 10 minutes to the fifth & the last stop at an Indian village for a dance show in their "big house" followed by some time afterward to walk around their "village-like" area at the back or as for some people a chance to go into the water some more (for about an hour at the stop where just the 20-minute dance show was sufficient for me and I was just a bit wary of that water where there were also trees & such!), then finally the ride of about an hour back to the city (where actually some people also got off near the "pretty crowded" Ponta Negra Beach along the way which I'm not sure is a good spot to catch the sunset), and arriving back at the Port terminal (right where we had started in the morning) at about 5 pm after the duration of about exactly 8 hours. I booked my tour at my place Hostel Manaus for about 180 reais (an equivalent of about 55 US dollars) which I would say was a "reasonable deal" including the all-you-can-eat lunch (as mentioned above) & the hotel transportation both ways, especially in comparison of that price to another one I'd got earlier from another tour agent elsewhere (so yes might be a good idea to shop around a little).
