Manaus (2.5 million residents), capital of Amazonas, is the Amazon’s chief economic and logistics hub. Home to the Free Trade Zone Industrial District, it drives much of Brazil’s North GDP and attracts global bioeconomy and tech investment. Cultural icons include the Amazon Theatre and nearby Parintins Folklore Festival. At the Meeting of the Waters (Rio Negro & Solimões), jet charter and air taxi in Manaus ensure fast, exclusive access to lodges, riverside communities, and corporate centers.
Start with a regional breakfast at the Hotel Tropical Manaus rooftop; take a scenic flight over Manaus’s Meeting of the Waters, landing by a floating village for a rainforest-lodge visit. Arrive by helicopter at the Amazon Theatre for a guided tour, then a tasting lunch at Banzeiro. Transfer by heli to the Amazon Museum (MUSA) to climb the canopy tower and trails. End with a private swim in the Rio Negro and a sunset executive charter flight back to base.
