Detailed description is .
Manaus or Manaós before 1939 or Barra do Rio Negro, is the capital city of the state of Amazonas in the North Region of Brazil.
It is situated at the confluence of the Negro and Solimões rivers.
With a population of more than 2 million, it is the most populous city of both the Brazilian state of Amazonas and the Amazon rainforest.The city was founded in 1693–94 as the Fort of São José do Rio Negro.
It was elevated to a town in 1832 with the name of "Manaus", an altered spelling of the indigenous Manaós peoples, and legally transformed into a city on October 24, 1848, with the name of Cidade da Barra do Rio Negro, Portuguese for "The City of the Margins of the Black River".
On September 4, 1856 it returned to its original name.Manaus is located in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, and access to the city is primarily by boat or airplane.
This isolation helped preserve both the natural environment as well as the culture of the city.
The culture of Manaus, more than in any other urban area of Brazil, preserves the habits of Native Brazilian tribes.
The city is the main access point for visiting the fauna and flora of the Brazilian Amazon.
Few places in the world afford such a variety of plants, birds, insects, and fishes.
