Brief
- Try regional Amazonian dishes and drinks such as grilled tambaqui, pirarucu, tacacá, cupuaçu and fresh açaí.
- Brazil’s general election is scheduled for October 2026. Campaign events and voting-day gatherings may cause localized congestion around Manaus, especially near government buildings and major public squares.

- Dengue and Zika are mosquito-borne risks in Brazil. Use repellent, wear covering clothing and choose accommodation with screens or air conditioning; extra precautions are important for pregnant travellers because of Zika risks. (
- Avoid swimming, wading or bathing in untreated freshwater, and avoid floodwater or muddy soil after heavy rain because of schistosomiasis and melioidosis risks. Cover cuts and wounds. (
- Drink bottled or reliably filtered water and use care with street food and perishables. Comprehensive travel insurance is advisable because private medical care can be expensive and healthcare access outside urban areas is more limited. (

- Exercise increased caution in Manaus and on Amazon river journeys: Brazil’s travel advisory reports violent crime in vulnerable urban areas and armed robberies or attacks on some Amazon river lodges and vessels. (
