Hi
sides
Man selling maps of the Amazon area, 15 real
I am flying into Manaus in January and would like to know the best way to get from the airport to the dock. How much should it cost and what do I ask for in Spanish.
You don't ask for anything in Spanish. Brazilians speak and understand Portuguese.
You will definately enjoy the city of Manaus. Just want to add that you should make sure that you join one of the cruises that take you to the Rio Negro. It is an amazing sight to see the black river join the Amazon proper. Having taken several tour to the region (as tour director), the people on my tours were never disappointed at the natural phenomenon of the two rivers joining. Not to be seen anywhere else. Don't misss it.
Thanks. Which would be best poor Spanish or sparsely understood English?
Thanks. Can you recommend a good tour company?
"wmoomaw" the above post from "samuses" is a blatant advertisement. I would not trust a operator that needs to do underhanded advertising.
If / when deleted, ignore this post.

staying up late, the smell of the Jungle, the noises strange but intriguing. the Sunsets and Sunrise...sometimes the bloody Mosquitos ruined everything
they are the real killers on the Amazon and the Jungle, protect yourself...Malaria is one bite away I hope the old pic conveys the atmosphere
The capital of the state is Manaus, which has been nicknamed “The Paris of the Jungle”. The Portuguese founded it in the 16th century, but Manaus remained a small village until the success of the rubber plantations. It was during this period that the main features of the city, such as the Grand Opera House (Teatro Amazonas, see picture) and the small Palaces of the British plantation owners, were built.
*****Just be aware that there apparently is a fine line btwn what is urban and what is rural up there...even though you would be reeeeally hard-pressed to notice any difference yourself! This sign as you leave the metropolis makes things pointedly clear for you...hehehehehe...*****
The National Institute of Amazon Research (INPA - INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE PESQUISAS DA AMAZÔNIA) was created in 1995 to develop scientific and technologic studies and to preserve amazonian species.
You can visit INPA and check out expositions of amazonian vegetation, insects and projects developed by the researchers and also see some amazing animals, such as:
Amazonian alligators;
The Giant Otter (They're just so cute! They're the biggest among all the 13 otter species of the world and one of the greatest predators of the tropical rainforests of South America); and
The Amazonian manatee (Species in danger of extinction, exclusively of fresh water, spread throughout the Amazon basin.)
For kids and nature lovers, it's a nice experience.
Group visits are scheduled in advanced.
