About the pousada
Pousada Chez les Rois was a wonderful find- an oasis of calm in one of the best areas of the city,half and hour from the airport, 4 kms from the centre of Manaus and easy walking distance from shops, restaurants, gyms and even a spa. The 10 bedrooms here are fairly basic but all have en-suite shower rooms, frigobar , TVs and wi-fi internet access which works! Breakfasts are taken by a beautiful pool set in tropical gardens- a wonderful way to start the day and a great place to chill out in the late afternoon and evening when you get back from your day trips out.About the location
Manaus had a a glorious heyday at the height of the rubber boom at the end of the 19th century and there are still vestiges of its former glory evident in the Theatro Amazonas and a few surrounding buildings. Regrettably little else has survived though, and what is worth seeing in the city itself will not take you more than a couple of hours. What is extraordinary here of course is something else entirely: the confluence of the two huge rivers Solimões, and Negro which together become the Amazon, the bustle of the riverboats and the extraordinary sense of space and grandeur. Go out to the “meeting of the waters” where the black Rio Negro meets the brown River Solimões, or take a boat along the banks of the river or up to Lake Janauari to see the flora and fauna, the birds, butterflies and dolphins. Now those are unforgettable experiences
