Many imposing constructions were made during the past century such as the Amazonas Theater and the Rio Negro Palace. The city also presents a stunning natural beauty represented by the proximity with the Amazon forest and the union of two rivers with different colors the Rio Negro and Solimões. Manaus has folklore festivals during the entire year, such as the Carnaval.
