Manaus Cruise Guide
As the capital of Amazonas, Brazil's largest state, Manaus's population is a mix of cultures from tribes throughout the region, as well as those from its European settlers.
Sightseeing
Manaus boasts many fine museums detailing the history of the Amazon and its people. But the main draws are the ecological attractions, many of which are accessible by river boat. One popular trip is to see the confluence of the brown waters of the Rio Negro and the clearer waters of the Rio Solimões.
Highlights
• Amazon Museum
• Palácio Rio Negro Cultural Centre
• Encontro das Águas (meeting of the waters)
• Bosque da Ciência (forest park)
• Paricatuba Waterfall
