Manicoré

Manicoré is an administrative division in southeastern Amazonas, situated along the Madeira River in the heart of the Amazon region. The settlement features a compact downtown area with an airport, medical services, and schools that serve the surrounding communities.

The area started as a small trading post in the late 1700s and later received official municipal status. This evolution reflects the gradual colonization of the Amazon region by Portuguese settlers.

The population of 57,405 residents maintains a mixture of Portuguese colonial and indigenous traditions through local festivals and regional cuisine.

Boats are the best way to travel in this area, as the Madeira River is the main transport route. Keep in mind that infrastructure is basic, and the rainy season can affect accessibility and travel conditions.

Two rivers meet at a natural junction that shapes daily life and the local economy. This water crossing point has influenced fishing and farming practices for many generations.
