Abufari Nature Reserve
Abufari Nature Reserve
South-west of Manaus is the Abufari Nature Reserve, which covers an area of 288,000 hectares/720,000 acres in the communes of Tapauá and Manacapuru. It is best reached by boat, since the Rio Purus, a tributary of the Solimões, runs through the area and the Rio Coari skirts it. It is also accessible by road: BR 319 (Manaus-Porto Velho), which traverses the area between Rio Madeira and Rio Purus, runs fairly close to the reserve.
