Manaus is the most populous city in the Amazon basin. Its prosperity from the rubber trade earned it a reputation as the “Paris of the Amazon,” with elegant buildings, gracious avenues and colorful facades still visible in the Old Town. The Amazon Theater, constructed when demand for rubber was at its height, boasts a striking tiled dome and rich European influences. The Rio Negro Palace, once home to an eccentric rubber baron, is a vibrant cultural center. By boat, the Meeting of the Waters can be seen, where the Black River and the sand-colored Amazon run side by side.
