Manaus

Within the Amazon rain forest is Manaus. The biggest rainforest in the world is home to a sizable metropolis with nearly 2 million residents. Amazingly, the Amazon Rainforest takes over 60% of Brazil's total geographical area. Manaus is not the only city in the jungle, but it is an important one since it serves as a key conduit for passage through the Amazon. The rise of the city's economy was facilitated by the export success of latex (obtained from nearby rubber trees).

With average summertime temperatures of 26.7°C and maximum summertime temperatures of 38.3°C, this city is among the warmest capital cities in Brazil.

Manaus is currently one of the top cities in Brazil thanks to its stunning architecture, ancient squares, and several Amazon research facilities. The Amazon River's shore is lined with stunning beaches and river views. Manaus is the starting point for cruises in the Brazilian Amazon, which purposefully choose a path with lower mosquito populations due to water nutrient levels. There are several hotels close to Manaus that provide genuine Amazon experiences. Brazilian and international planes are welcomed at the Manaus International Airport. The Amazon Theatre, Mercado Adolpho Lisboa, the Ponta Negra Cultural, Sport and Leisure Park, and many other places make Manaus a popular tourist destination. Therefore, Manaus deserves as one of the 10 Major Cities in Brazil.
