Manaus Package with Day Trips
Manaus is a fascinating port city, buzzing with activity six days a week.
The city, 1,770 miles northwest of Rio de Janeiro, is near the juncture of the Amazon -- or Rio Solimoes, as it is also known in this region -- and one of its giant tributaries, the Rio Negro. With no other major city within 600 miles, it is the jumping-off point for excursions into the rain forest.
If you are looking to stay in modern accommodations, but at the same time experience nature, this package is for you.
