Presidente Figueiredo, Municipality in Amazonas, Brazil.
Presidente Figueiredo is a municipality in Amazonas state in northern Brazil, featuring over 100 waterfalls and numerous caves set within the rainforest landscape. The territory spans a large area with diverse terrain shaped by water, rock formations, and dense vegetation.
The municipality formed in 1981 from parts of neighboring administrative areas and gained full administrative independence in 1985. This transition established it as an independent administrative center for the region.
Local communities celebrate the Cupuaçu Festival and Folkloric Festival each year, where regional artisans display their work and traditional Amazon music fills the air. These gatherings reflect how deeply the people here connect with the forest and its resources.
The town connects to Manaus via the BR-174 highway and offers multiple accommodation options for visitors exploring the natural attractions. With local services and basic facilities, travelers can organize trips to waterfalls and caves.
A large environmental protection area within the municipality safeguards substantial portions of the rainforest, making it an important location for conservation efforts. Visitors encounter one of the region's largest continuous forest expanses.
