Amazonas (pronounced [amaˈzonas]^[1]) is the largest state of Brazil in area, located in the northern part of the country. Neighboring states are (from north clockwise) Roraima, Pará, Mato Grosso, Rondônia, Acre. It also borders Peru, Colombia and Venezuela. This includes the department Amazonas in Colombia, as well as the Amazonas State, Venezuela (it does not border the Peruvian Amazonas Region). The prime feature of the Amazon is its immense forest. This is the largest Brazilian State in area, with 1.5 million square kilometers. From the capital, Manaus, tours take tourists to see the meeting of waters where the rivers Negro and Solimões run alongside without mixing their waters, and stay in the lodges in the forest, appreciated by foreign tourists. Although being far away from the ocean, Manaus is a port city. Among the many attractions of the capital, are the Teatro Amazonas, the Municipal Market, the Zoo, the Forest of Science and the Museum of the Indian. Outside the city of Manaus, beside the meeting of the waters, the main attractions are the tours of the largest biodiversity of the planet, with a fauna of more than 250 species of mammals, 2,000 types of fish and 1,100 types of birds.
