Amazon gateway — opera house in the jungle.
— Journey —
4 h from São Paulo by air
Manaus is the gateway to the Amazon — a city of 2 million rising from the world's largest rainforest. The Teatro Amazonas opera house (1896), built during the rubber boom with Carrara marble shipped up the Amazon, is one of the most improbable buildings in South America. FFGR Brazil organises private Amazon jungle lodges, boat expeditions to the Meeting of the Waters, and pink river dolphin encounters.
