    White-sand beaches that appear and disappear with the changing water levels of the Amazon River make Alter do Chão a true natural wonder of Brazil.

Visitors come not only for the beach experience but also for the charm of a fishing village where fresh fish dishes and jungle serenity await.

    Alter do Chão is especially popular in September during the annual Sairé Festival — a vibrant celebration with traditional dances, costumes, and river parades. Adventure seekers can enjoy kayaking through flooded forests, spotting pink river dolphins, and exploring ancient archaeological sites.

    Manaus / Brazil

    In the heart of the Amazon, where nature and history blend uniquely, lies the city of Manaus — the capital of the Amazonas state and the largest city in the region with over a million inhabitants. It gained fame during the rubber boom of the last century, when the luxurious Opera House was built in 1896 using materials imported from Europe despite the high costs. Surrounded by jungle on three sides, Manaus stands apart from European cities with its shaded streets, small parks, and traditional boot cleaners. Just a ten-minute walk from the city center, you can find palm-thatched stilt houses inhabited by indigenous families, offering a genuine Amazonian experience.

    One of the city’s natural wonders is the "Meeting of the Waters." Here, the dark mineral-rich waters of the Rio Negro merge with the yellowish waters of the Solimões River to form the mighty Amazon. For about two kilometers, these waters flow side by side without mixing due to their temperature difference, creating a stunning natural spectacle. Manaus is considered one of the cleanest ecological cities in the world and is located just five hours by plane from Rio de Janeiro — a perfect starting point for exploring the amazing Amazon rainforest.
