A Rio Negro town that opens directly onto the Anavilhanas archipelago, flooded forest and a slower Amazon rhythm.
Why this place
Novo Airão is one of the most practical gateways from Manaus into the lower Rio Negro. The town sits beside Anavilhanas National Park, where hundreds of river islands, igapó forest, wildlife, beaches in the low-water season and community-based experiences create a very different Amazon stay from a city-based excursion.
A place should not be reduced to one hero image. These views show different parts of the experience and landscape.
Boat trips through igapó depend on the Rio Negro’s seasonal water level.
