About Manaus for Solo Travelers
A river city deep in the Amazon where a 19th-century opera house rises from the jungle and solo travelers depart on riverboats into one of earth's last great wildernesses.
Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Manaus is the gateway to the Amazon — the city itself is just the launch pad. Solo travelers should book a jungle lodge through a reputable agency (2-3 nights minimum) to experience piranha fishing, night caiman spotting, and rainforest canopy walks with a guide. The famous meeting of the rivers (where the Rio Negro and Solimões don't mix for miles) is a spectacular boat trip. Yellow fever vaccination required.
