Popular pages on Visit Manaus
Manaus is perhaps best known as Brazil's Gateway to the Amazon. With only one reliable road link, it remains a relatively isolated city in  the middle of the Amazon rainforest around 1000km in any direction from the next nearest civilisation. It is also an interesting city, with some notable colonial architecture and a vibrant culture. However the quantity and quality of available information on the city and the region remains limited, and over the years we have received many requests from visitors for information on transport, accommodation, jungle lodges, jungle excursions, boat trips, attractions, culture, language and many other things.  We developed Visit Manaus to try to address this growing need for independent information and contacts in order to make informed decisions about where to stay, what to do and how to get around the city and the wider Brazilian Amazon.

The Site

The site contains a variety of information and links and details of stuff we think you might be interested in. Obviously we would prefer you to support us by buying a hard copy of the guide, but you can probably find most of what you need to know either on this site or by searching or asking questions on our forum. You can also contact us here by email and we will try to answer any question you care to throw at us.

The Visit Manaus Agency System

We are gradually introducing a booking system for approved suppliers and operators. Our policies regarding this and our operation in general can be found here. By all means check with us before you book anything, to see if we can help.

The Guide Book

Our flagship publication, the Visit Manaus guidebook, ISBN 978-0-9565741-0-4, is available to buy in hard copy (paperback guide printed in and distributed internationally from the UK) or in e-format (as a pdf file). We also have a shorter "24-hour" guide and several leisure maps of the Rio Negro (pdfs). You will find further information on these on our publications page, and for those planning to pick up a guide book when they arrive in Manaus, you should note that THERE ARE NO ENGLISH LANGUAGE GUIDEBOOKS AVAILABLE IN MANAUS.

The Forum


The Visit Manaus Forum is open to everyone and is a fun way to give and receive all sorts of information. We hope this will develop over time into a buzzing online community of people who have visited, are visiting or are planning to visit this fascinating area, and you are welcome to register, browse and subscribe - and we promise we won´t send you any junk email if you do.
