Manaus
Manaus is perhaps best known as Brazil’s Gateway to the Amazon. With only one reliable road link, it remains a relatively isolated city in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. It is also an interesting city, with some notable colonial architecture and a vibrant culture. British expat Clive Maguire developed the website Visit Manaus to try to address a growing need for independent information on transport, accommodation, jungle lodges and excursions, boat trips, attractions, culture, language and many other things in order to make informed decisions about where to stay, what to do and how to get around the city and the wider Brazilian Amazon.
FOOTBALL IN THE RAINFOREST
Dutch writer and photographer C. Cornell Evers travels regularly to the Brazilian Amazon area.
In 2007 he initiated cooperation between Foundation StadsSpelen in Amsterdam and the Peladão in Manaus, capital of the Brazilian Amazon state Amazonas. The Peladão is the biggest amateur football competition in the world. In the summer of 2007 C. Cornell Evers presented in the center of Amsterdam a group of photographers from Manaus in an exhibition entitled:
‘FOOTBALL AND QUEENS IN THE RAINFOREST’
