The Amazon River Basin is home to the largest rainforest on Earth. The basin covers some 40% of the South American continent and includes parts of eight South American countries: Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, and Suriname.

Two-thirds of the Amazon Rainforest is found in Brazil. The Brazilian Rainforest has one of the highest rates of biodiversity on Earth. Brazil is also home to an enormous social and cultural diversity, which includes a large population of traditional peoples such as rubber tappers, Indigenous peoples, fisherfolk, babaçu collectors and quilombolas (descendants of freed black slaves).

Manaus is a city with a colorful history. Although located in the midst of a vast rainforest, Manaus, in the first decade of the 20th century, offered all the amenities of any European city of similar or even greater size. Founded in 1669, Manaus grew slowly until the late 19th century when rubber transformed the provincial Manaus into a modern city.

Today, Manaus is the chief commercial and cultural center of the upper Amazon region and is a free port. Manaus is well known for exports of rubber, Brazil nuts, oil and jute. Along with the lavish mansions of former "rubber barons", one of the city's key attractions is the eclectic, neo-Classical Teatro Amazonas built in the late 19th century — a beautiful pink and white opera house with a gold tile dome and dazzling interior detail - the finest fixtures and furnishings imported from abroad.
