Juruena to Manaus

DAY 13, LEG 63 - Juruena to Manaus

After a quick stop in Juruena, we continue north to Manaus.  Manaus is the largest city in northern Brazil and the capital of the Amazonas region.  It is a popular destination for eco-tourists who explore the rainforest that surrounds the city and is served by Eduardo Gomes International Airport which mainly serves domestic destinations but offers a seasonal service to Miami.

Cruising over the Amazon rainforest again.

Turning over the Black River to the ILS

Parked at the general aviation terminal, nicknamed "Eduardinho" or "Little Eduardo" as it is the smaller of the two terminals at Eduardo Gomes airport.
