Introducing Presidente Figueiredo

Self-named the ‘Terra de Cachoeiras’ (Land of Waterfalls), this dusty little town is surrounded by dozens of waterfalls and caves. Just 100km north of Manaus by good highway, this is the only leisure spot easily accessible by road from the capital, and it gets obscenely packed on weekends. A midweek visit can be a nice diversion if you’ve got time to kill.
