Manaus is the capital of the Brazilian state of Amazonas. It is the seventh most populous city in Brazil and the sixth largest urban area in the country, and its metropolitan region, with more than 2.8 million inhabitants, is the 11th most populous in the country. The city has a strong cosmopolitan character, attracting immigrants and tourists of many nationalities. Located in the heart of the largest tropical rainforest in the world, it is a regional metropolis with significant influence over Northern Brazil, especially the Western Amazon, from environmental, cultural and economic standpoints alike.
Originating from the Forte do Rio Negro in the 17th century, Manaus enjoyed periods of prosperity such as the rubber boom and an intense process of industrialization from the 1970s onward. It earned the nickname “Paris of the Tropics” because of the luxury of its European-style architecture, which attracted foreign investment and immigrants from all over the world. It is home to the headquarters of the National Institute for Amazonian Research (INPA), the most important center for scientific studies of the Amazonian biome and for international sustainability issues, and it also has several universities, such as the Amazonas State University (UEA) and the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM), which are among the best in Latin America.
