State of Amazonas
Amazonas is an enormous state in northwestern Brazil, covered almost entirely by the Amazon rainforest. The capital, Manaus, is a river port with landmarks dating to the late-19th-century rubber boom, including the Amazon Theater, a grand opera house. The city marks the "Meeting of Waters," where the blackwater Rio Negro and the Solimões River merge into the Amazon River.
