Lonely Planet review for Museu do Seringal Vila Paraíso
This museum is a 25-minute boat ride from Ponta Negra, which is itself a 20-minute bus ride from the center. Fortunately, the trip there is part of the fun, and can be combined with a stop at Praia da Lua, Manaus’ best beach. Guided tours include an opulent rubber baron’s townhouse and a replica rubber-tapper shack, and walking a short trail to see how rubber trees are tapped, and the latex processed in a thatched smokehouse. It’s a bit gimmicky but still interesting, and is the only place in Manaus to learn about this all-important history.
