When traveling around Manaus, renting a car is recommended as the city can be challenging to navigate for those unfamiliar with it. Several rental car companies are available at Eduardo Gomes International Airport. For longer excursions or comfort, hiring a private driver is a convenient option with fares around $150-200 per day.
If you have extra days, consider visiting the Encontro das Águas Park, an important biological reserve in the region where the Negro and Solimões Rivers meet. For a glimpse of Amazonian nightlife, take a stroll at the Manauara Shopping Center, or explore some more the city's museums, such as the Amazonas Museum and the Museu da Amazônia.
If you have less time, trim the experience by skipping any attraction and cutting the number of days in the rainforest to two, but be aware that the Amazon Rainforest is not something to be rushed.
The international airport of Eduardo Gomes (MAO) is the largest airport in the Amazon region, located around 10 miles from Manaus city center. The airport has several dining and shopping options and offers direct flights to major Brazilian cities and US destinations such as Miami and Orlando.
