Frequently Asked Questions

At floating pontoons a short distance from downtown. The floating system tracks the dramatic swings in water level, which can run several metres between flood and low water.
About 1,500 kilometres. Ships come up the Amazon and then the Rio Negro to reach this city of two million, born of the rubber boom and ringed by an unbroken green horizon.
The Teatro Amazonas, the Adolpho Lisboa market and the port district link on foot and fill half a day comfortably. The Meeting of the Waters excursion needs more time: pick one or the other.
Yes, guided tours cover the hall and its balconies. Opened in 1896, when rubber barons made Manaus one of the wealthiest cities on earth, the opera house carries a dome in the colours of the Brazilian flag and materials shipped from Europe. With luck, an orchestra rehearsal is under way.
The point a few kilometres downstream where the dark water of the Rio Negro runs alongside the milky-coffee Solimões without mixing, for several kilometres. The contrast comes from differences in temperature, speed and sediment; you watch it from the deck of a launch.
The products of the forest under nineteenth-century iron halls: river fish of startling size, fruit unknown on North American shelves, medicinal herbs and regional crafts. The neighbouring port district shows a working Amazon where everything still moves by boat.
Yes, with the pace adjusted. Ponta Negra, about 13 kilometres from downtown, combines a sand beach, a shaded promenade and an amphitheatre, with views of the great Rio Negro cable-stayed bridge. Downtown is walkable, but humid heat tires young children quickly.
Yes, but only on an organized outing. Most excursions combine the Meeting of the Waters with a run into the igarapés, the narrow side channels where stilt houses sit among giant water lilies. The forest is not something to tackle alone.
Humid heat forces a slow pace: a water bottle, a hat and shade breaks change the quality of the day. Downtown is walkable in daylight if you stay on busy streets, and taxis remain inexpensive for longer trips.
Brazilian reais and Portuguese. English turns up on excursion circuits and in larger establishments, less so in markets and taxis. Keep small bills for the market and the waterfront stalls.
