Rio Preto da Eva

Rio Preto da Eva is a municipality in the Amazon region, situated about 57 kilometers northeast of Manaus. The area spans rainforest landscapes shaped by rivers and natural forest habitats.

The municipality was established in 1981 as an independent administrative unit within Amazonas state. This creation marked a reorganization of administrative boundaries in the region.

Agriculture here revolves around cassava and tropical fruits, practices that have shaped how people live and work in this region for many generations.

Visitors can reach the municipality by paved roads from Manaus, with regular bus services connecting both places throughout the day. Travel conditions are generally better during the drier months when road access is most reliable.

Parts of the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project and Rio Urubu State Forest are located here, where long-term scientific research on forest ecosystems takes place. These protected areas make the region an important location for studying tropical forest conservation.
