The Brazilian city of Manaus is located on the Rio Negro just before it spills into the Amazon River. Once a world center of rubber production, Manaus is now a perfect tourist destination for travelers who like to get off the beaten path. Remote and exotic, Manaus is a pleasant and friendly getaway with river tours, dancing, and festivals galore.
