Hospitable, they enjoy displaying their hometown and sharing it with guests: welcoming visitors to their favorite corner bar for an iced lager and spicy finger snacks; Saturday is Feijoada bean-feast day after the beach; weight-watchers and those seeking a natural lifestyle opt for healthful sandwiches.

In 1669, Portuguese expeditionary built a fort, on the northern bank of the river Negro, close the fort, and included thatched huts of local Indian tribesmen. The Indians were called Manaus and, in 1833, when the settlement became a town, that is the name it was given. During the second half of the 19th century, the Amazon region became the major supplier of natural rubber to the newly industrialized North Hemisphere. The rubber boom created a golden era, and witnessed the construction of luxurious public and private buildings, amongst which the Opera House (Teatro Amazonas), the Customs House, the Floating Docks, the Municipal Market and the Rio Negro Palace, are the most famous. The prosperity and opulence end, however, when the Seringueira tree, from which the rubber was tapped, was successfully transplanted to other, more accessible, parts of the world. THE AMAZON - THE RIVER AND FOREST The Amazon is the second longest river in the world (after the Nile), and is an inseparable part of life in this region. It serves as the only link between towns and villages where no roads exist, and its fish provide food and employment for thousands of local inhabitants. Tributaries, lakes igarapés (jungle streams) and igapós (flooded ponds) are the source of more that 1500 fish species, from small sardines to the enormous pirarucus, tucunarés, and even dreaded piranhas. On the banks of the Amazon and its tributaries, flocks of heron, basking alligators, turtles and ariranhas, the Brazilian otter, thrill the visitor, whilst multicolored parrots and macaws chatter and quarrel on the edge of the forest.

10 An amazing phenomenon is the meeting of the waters, when the black waters of the Negro River and the clay colored waters of the Solimões River run side for many kilometers without mixing. The amazon forest, a lush, tropical jungle, covers and area more than twice the size of France, and includes the largest rain forest on earth. It is the habitat of more than 1,800 identified bird species, 250 types of mammal, and, scientists estimate, unlisted millions of species of insects. Rare orchids and other prolific plant life astound the visitor. WHAT TO SEE The Opera House (Teatro Amazonas) is one of the top tourist attractions in Manaus. It is considered by many to be the most stately in the world. Built in 1896, at the height of the rubber boom, it seats 700, and was constructed entirely with imported materials, Glass roof tiles came from France, doors and staircases from England and Italy, crystal chandeliers from Italy, and the stages and outside dome from Paris.
