Bookmark & shareAn incongruous pocket of bustling city life in the middle of the jungle.
Manaus is a major port 1500km (932mi) from the coast. The surrounding rain forest has a population density half that of Mongolia's, but to get there invariably involves passing through this lively city of two million souls. Don't be surprised if you feel a tad disoriented...
