Manaus


 Starting point for trips in the heart of the Amazon area is Manaus, the capital of the biggest Brazilian Federal State, Amazonas.

Manaus was around the turn of the century one of the richest cities of the world. The wealth of the primeval forest becomes visible first of all in the architecture of it`s capital. "Milk", the latex (Hevea brasiliensis) was named, a fascinating natural product, which by the trees is tapped. This "milk" was the origin for the conversion of a whole city. The American Charles Goodyear developed a procedure with the juice of the rubber tree into rubber could be processed. The city revelled in the money intoxication and the india rubber barons afforded the biggest luxury from Europe, a copy the Grand Opera de Paris - the TEATRO AMAZONAS . Other monuments from this epoch how the MERCADO MUNICIPAL, a copy of the famous market halls Les Halles in Paris, the arts centre RIO PALACIO NEGRO between fascinating Portuguese facades, reflect this time still again.

Today Manaus is a foreign trade zone. Foreign enterprises must pay here no import duties what guarantees a certain income for the city and the region. Electronics, wood industry and oil refineries have settled in the outskirts in industrial areas. The harbour is the most important trading centre for the care of the city with regional, national and international products.
