Northern Brazil

Region

The Amazon basin, half of Brazil's land and most of its rainforest. Manaus, an opera-house city in the middle of the jungle, is the base for lodges and river trips, Belém at the mouth of the river has the Ver-o-Peso market and Amazonian cooking, and Jalapão in Tocantins has dunes and spring-fed pools. River travel is part of the trip here.
