It´s the farthest venue from the center of the events of the Rio olympics.

 

Manaus is the capital of Amazonas a north region state of Brazil. With a population of more than 2 million it is the most populous city of Amazonas,and also the most populous city of the Amazon rainforest. well known as "the heart of Amazon" Manaus is located in the middle of the Amazon rainforest,  and access to the city is primarily by boat or airplane. This isolation helped preserve both the nature as well as the culture of the city. The culture of Manaus, more than in any other urban area of Brazil, preserves the habits of Native Brazilian tribes. The city is the main entrance to visit the fauna and flora of the Brazilian Amazon. Few places in the world afford such a variety of plants, birds, insects, and fishes.
