Tefé, River port municipality in Amazonas, Brazil
The city extends along the north bank of the Amazon River's Solimões section, next to a lake formed by the Tefé River mouth.
Portuguese Carmelite missionaries established contact with the Muras indigenous people around Lake Tefé in 1620, leading to the foundation of a settlement.
The region maintains strong connections to indigenous populations who rely on the river system for transportation, fishing, and agricultural activities.
Travelers can reach Tefé from Manaus through regular flights by Azul Linhas Aereas and Voepass, or by river boats that take approximately 12 hours.
The municipality contains 46 percent of the Tefé National Forest and 33 percent of the Catuá-Ipixuna Extractive Reserve, protecting substantial natural areas.
