We will meet the Jefferson Park, a public space that honors an important politician who contributed to the development of Manaus. In ancient times, the area was occupied by palaphite houses, without adequate infrastructure and with precarious living conditions.

Today, the park is a pleasant space for leisure, hiking and cohabitation, frequented by families and visitors.

Very prestige and comfortable, not rushed, felt much longer, very knowledgeable guide and very informative

Very easy to book and communicate. The car felt very high class with leather seats and air conditioning. Easy pick up and drop off right at the door. Prepared for weather conditions, walking us with umbrella or stopping right in front of the attraction. Felt very private just for us 2. The guide was very knowledgeable and very informative, speaking English very well and not rushing us at any point or situation, felt more like talking to a friend. We even got fruits and souvenirs delivered back with us to our stay. We were very happy to have booked this tour, it was definitely worth the price. The tour felt way longer then the actual time spent. Highly recommended.
