Manaus, the capital city of the state of Amazonas, is situated on the Negro, a confluence of the Amazon River. The city invites the visitors to enjoy the unique rainforest and the surroundings characterized by a great diversity of species. The variety of museums in Manaus allow to expand your knowledge of the culture and the jungle life. The symbol of the city is the Teatro Amazonas, the opera house in the style of Italian Renaissance.
