The Amazon River

The name of the biggest state of Brazil, located in the Amazon Region, was originated from a legendary tribe of warrior women.

This enormous tropical rain forest, interrupted by a gigantic network of rivers is a tourist destination that offers the exuberance of the jungle, explored in an ecologically correct manner in respect to tourism. With intense cultural life, the Folk Festival of the Boi-Bumbás of Parintins and the Amazonas Opera Festival are main attractions, which translate the musicality and artistic expression of its cheerful and hospitable people.

To visit the State of Amazonas is to surprise oneself at each river branch and be enchanted at each street corner of its modern capital, Manaus, the jungle metropolis. Manaus keeps images of the golden times of its peak during the rubber economic boom, including buildings and monuments recently restored. The city owns an advanced Industrial District with industries of many different nationalities. Unusual and exotic hotels and resorts, located in the middle of the forest, are added to the conventional hostelry and leisure. A modern airport and convention center infrastructure is also available for any business event, providing safety, quality and state-of-the-art technology.

The attractions of this paradise are exclusive. In Amazonas, the exuberance of the tropical rain forest, associated with hot and humid climate, are responsible for the largest biodiversity on Earth. More than 98% of its 1, 5 million square kilometers territory remains as untouched as when Brazil was discovered. Source - Governo do Amazonas.
