Manaus, Capital city in Amazonas, Brazil
Manaus extends along the north bank of the Negro River, encompassing numerous waterways and channels that divide the urban terrain into distinct sections.
The settlement began as Fort São José do Rio Negro in 1669, evolving into a significant rubber trade center during the late 19th century economic expansion.
The Teatro Amazonas, constructed in 1896, represents the architectural legacy of the rubber period and functions as the primary venue for the Amazonas Opera Festival.
The Manaus Free Trade Zone, established in 1967, maintains industrial production facilities and creates employment opportunities for the local population.
The Meeting of Waters phenomenon occurs where the dark Negro River flows alongside the light-colored Solimões River without mixing for six kilometers.
