Came in by overnight double decker bus from near Guyana. Someone picked me up in a speedboat and took me to a house just outside of Manaus to stay for the night. There were no roads to any of these houses in the river. Everything was done by river. We passed a few churches that were boats even. The next day I booked passage on a cargo ship. They did have a few rooms but I saved some money by booking a spot to hang my hammock instead. Was very peaceful. Saw a few pink river dolphins and caiman. No matter how remote we went, we'd find a house somewhere up river, with no roads leading to it. After 5 days I disembarked and took a motorcycle to the Bolivian border. Was a great experience. Hope those adventures aren't all behind me.

Manaus is probably one of the most unique cities in the world. It is located in the heart of the Amazon and is located on the Rio Negro and Rio Amazonas rivers. It is the capital of the state of Amazonas and all its cities use the Amazon rivers as roads.
The Amazon River is the longest river in the world and is 6,400 km long.

It's a pretty wild situation. If I had to guess why it is the way it is, if you're in one of the many little Amazonian towns along a river and want to access broader civilization, you'll go down river to the largest city around just like how a lot of river cities were settled in the United States. But because the Amazon basin is massive, hostile to city development, and Manaus is an ocean going port right at the confluence of the Rio Negro and the Amazon River, it gets all of the urban agglomeration economy instead of it being spread more evenly. Imagine if St Louis could be reached by freighters and it was really difficult to build Minneapolis, Chicago, and Kansas City, so instead those cities were tiny and all of their manufacturing and service economy jobs not supporting the surrounding area were just moved to St Louis.

It was mad convenient during the time of Portuguese settling as it was easy to navigate all the way there to get Amazonian resources...
Like nobody thinks of Minas Gerais as being close to the ocean but it was the easiest place with gold to navigate to from Belém through rivers
Kinda insane really but remember us portuguese (and the Brazilian settlers, most of whom were also Portuguese at the time) really had a big attachment to boats and really fell off once steamers and railways became a thing

Manaus has a Free Economic Zone, where most of the "national" electronic products are made. But it has a high production and transportation cost. Because the resources used in manufacturing come from the city of São Paulo, and are transported through the port of the city of Santos to the port of the city of Belém and these resources are again transported by ferry to Manaus. In Manaus, They assemble electronics with a lower efficiency and sell them at a higher price to consumers in São Paulo and the rest of the country. To give you an idea, a television takes a few hours to be brought to the consumer market in São Paulo, while in Manaus it takes a few days.

What's even crazier is that most of Brazil's electronics are produced or assembled there, not only there is horrible infrastructure to get them out of there but it's also thousands of kilometers away from most of the buyers
