📍 About the location
You will be located in the middle of the beautiful brazilian town Manaus, an interesting town located 1,400km from the Atlantic Ocean. Manaus is located in the middle of the Amazon rainforest and has a population of two million. It is quite popular with tourists due to its rivers and proximity to the rainforest. Although lots of tourists come here, it's not a touristic city. This city has kept its strong culture alive.
It's here in Manaus where the Rio Negro joins the Solimões to form the Amazon River. The river tours here are amazing, and if you are lucky you may even spot some pink dolphins. Manaus if full of trees and lots of beaches for you to truly enjoy yourself.
