Manaus
Opera House
Welcome to Visit Manaus.com.
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 rainforest around 1000km in any direction
from the next nearest civilisation. It is also an interesting city
in its own right, with some interesting 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 a constant flow of requests from visitors for
information on transport, accommodation, attractions, culture,
language and many other things.
We developed our Visit Manaus guide to try to address this growing
need and have developed (or rather, we are
developing) this site for the many visitors travelling to Manaus who need
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 Amazon.
We are in the process of developing new
pages for the site and are adding new information as we receive or
find it. In the meantime, our flagship publication, the Visit Manaus
guidebook, is available to buy in e-format (as a pdf file) or in
hard copy (paperback guide printed in and distributed from the UK).
We also have a shorter 24-hour guide (pdf) and several leisure maps
of the Rio Negro (pdf). You will find further information on these
on our publications page, and while we are developing the
site, you may find some useful additional information by following the
links on our Links page.
We have now developed a new forum for visitors to Manaus and the Amazon
(click the forum tab above),
which we hope will be a good foundation for a buzzing online
community of people who have visited, are visiting or are planning
to visit this fascinating area, and of course if you would like to contact us
- whether to leave feedback on our Guide,
or to ask us a question, please email us at
info@visitmanaus.com, or complete our feedback form on the
Contacts page. Our
publications can all be ordered from our
Orders page.
