Amazon jungle gateway with opera house
In the middle of the Amazon — the Belle Époque opera house funded by 1900s rubber barons sits 1,500km from the sea, and the river-meets-river "Encontro das Águas" is unforgettable.




Walk center carefully; Uber works; jungle tours pre-book.
Jungle lodges 2-3 hours upriver are way better than tours from Manaus.
Use rideshare, not taxis at night.
Quiet — restaurants and waterfront.
