Setting sail from Manaus
Situated near the confluence of the Rio Negro and Amazon rivers, and surrounded by thick jungle, Manaus is a remarkable place, a sweltering, steamy city in the heart of the Brazilian rainforest. It first came to prominence as the centre of the rubber trade around the turn of the twentieth century, but these days it's a major port, despite its location some 1,000 miles from the sea, and it's also the centre of the Amazonian tourism industry. It's an interesting place and there are a few sights worth seeing before you venture into the jungle, including the famous Teatro Amazonas, a beautiful 19th century opera house.
Our tip
Don’t come to the Amazon expecting to see loads of wildlife and tribesmen, especially not in Manaus which is busy, hot and dirty. Keep your mind open and your expectations realistic and you will have a great time.
22-24 October
Brazil: Amazon Experience
Your itinerary as you travel along the Amazon River is flexible, dependent on factors like water levels and animal sightings. You'll enjoy scenic cruising in between zodiac excursions and landings where you'll get to explore this astonishingly rich ecosystem, home to wildlife including monkeys, macaws and the elusive jaguar.

Arriving in Manaus
Don't miss
The meeting of the waters of the Rio Negro and Rio Solimões is really something: different colours, different speeds and different temperature too.

Ways to make it better
Where to stay in Manaus
You may enjoy the Tropical Manaus Ecoresort, a few miles outside the city. To be frank in Manaus hotel quality is poor.
Excursions from Manaus
