Introducing Tefé

Tefé is the jumping-off point to the Mamirauá reserve, one of the best ecotourism experiences in the Amazon. Visits there are closely coordinated with airline schedules, so those coming and going by plane generally have little or no time to explore the town. Those traveling by boat may have a day or two to spare, which is plenty. It’s not that there is anything wrong – it’s a perfectly safe, agreeable place, just not particularly memorable.
