Iranduba

Iranduba is a municipality in Amazonas state located on the banks of Rio Negro and Solimões rivers, forming a key connection to the Amazon region. The area covers 2,215 square kilometers where river landscapes and settlements coexist.

The region developed as an important transportation hub along Amazon river routes. The completion of the Manaus-Iranduba Bridge in 2011 transformed accessibility by connecting the area directly to the state capital.

The municipality blends traditional ways of life with influences from other Brazilian regions, visible in local festivals and community gatherings. This mix shapes how people live together and define their identity.

The area is reachable via the cable-stayed bridge from Manaus or by water, with regular boat services running throughout the day. Visitors should prepare for tropical humidity and timing visits during drier months works best.

The area protects a large portion of the Rio Negro Right Bank Environmental Protection Area, encompassing over one million hectares of Amazon rainforest. This protected zone preserves one of the region's most vital ecosystems.
