Manaus Travel Forum

Hi,
I was wondering if you could advise me on where to stay if you arrive at airport around midnight and have until 8am to wait for the Ariau Tower ferry? Should we stay at hotel near airport for 6 hours? Or should we stay at Hotel Tropical where the ferry boat takes off?
We are looking for affordable hotel to sleep for a few hours. I can't find a good map that shows hotels around airport. Also, I heard it is easy to find a taxi at anytime at the airport. Is that true?

Thanks.

Yes, it true have taxi outside the airport gates, and the taxis is very inexpensive.

I stayed at the Mango Guest House for a night before and after an Amazon cruise. The owner/manager arranged transportation to the dock near the Tropical. It's a quarter to a third the cost of the Tropical, with good-sized rooms and a fine restaurant.

You might google "Mango Guest House Manaus" for information and reviews.
