Anavilhanas, River archipelago in Amazonas, Brazil
The Anavilhanas forms a collection of over 400 islands within the Rio Negro, spanning 130 kilometers with an average width of 20 kilometers.
The area received national park status in 2008, transforming from an ecological station established in 1981 to protect the extensive river archipelago system.
Local indigenous communities maintain connections to the archipelago through sustainable practices and guide visitors through the intricate water networks.
Visitors can reach Anavilhanas by taking a four-hour car ride from Manaus or choosing boat transportation along the Rio Negro.
During flood seasons, the water level rises substantially, creating navigable channels through submerged forests and revealing different landscapes throughout the year.
