Beers on the square next to the african house - Manaus

Beers on the square next to the african house

Opera House

I have traveled to a lot of places and this town seemed a little unsafe for a foreigner wearing a fishing shirt. Around the opera house it seemed very safe. We did not Leave the main square on foot. The opera house was very cool, the only way to see the inside is with a tour ($5 us or 10 real)

Pros and Cons

Pros:The main Square and people are very nice
Cons:A lot of poverty
In a nutshell:If in town visit the main Square, no other reason to come
