MUSA - Museu da Amazônia

MUSA is one of the best small-scale representations of the Amazon near the city of Manaus and would probably be a suitable introduction to the Amazon rainforest for those who have never visited one. I highly recommend that everyone who comes to Manaus visit it. The large-scale photographs of people displayed throughout the forest were another highlight of MUSA. The site has a highly knowledgeable crew and staff for those who want to obtain more information about the Amazon and its plant life. Visitors should check the opening days before going, as it is located approximately 45 minutes outside the city of Manaus.

I loved the place, i wish they had more english explanations. Only few staff speak english. Bring shoes otherwise you can rent boots for 10Rs

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must-Visit in Manaus | Hidden Gem of the Amazon While visiting the area on vacation, I discovered MUSA – Museu da Amazônia, and it quickly became one of the highlights of my entire trip. This is not your typical museum—MUSA is a living, breathing experience in the Amazon rainforest. Walking the trails feels like stepping into the heart of the jungle, surrounded by towering trees, wildlife sounds, and fresh air that instantly slows you down. The exhibits are engaging, well-designed, and incredibly informative, making them perfect for both first-time visitors to the Amazon and those who want a deeper understanding of the region. The canopy observation tower alone is worth the visit. The view from the top is breathtaking—an endless sea of green that gives you a powerful sense of how vast and alive the Amazon truly is. It’s one of those moments you don’t forget. What really sets MUSA apart is its focus on education, conservation, and respect for the Amazon and its people. You leave inspired, informed, and more connected to this incredible ecosystem. If you’re in Manaus and searching for something meaningful, peaceful, and unforgettable to do—do not skip MUSA. Whether you love nature, photography, learning, or just want an authentic Amazon experience, this place delivers. Highly recommend adding it to your must-see list while visiting the area.

Worth a visit!! It is a bit far from the city, but you are able to see the rainforest area from the top of the tower. Also, there are some snake, spider exhibitions where you cannot learn about different kinds of them. It’s not the real rainforest, but it has many good &safe spots for pictures! Doggos are cuddly. 🥰 Ps, they offer renting boots service if you are wearing a slipper. (10 BRL)

It's excellent trail have a feel of jungle and 20 floors tower with amazing view of jungle.Snake and fish aquarium is nice

The place has potential but struggles with its identity. It tries to be a museum, a zoo,a botanical garden and a nature preserve all at once, but does not succeed properly or excel at either one. My suggestion is to build a proper museum and open the other trails to be visited without guides but marking them well with signs. The animals are scarce (just a few fish, the snakes and spiders were largely hiding, and the butterfly section was closed), the museum and the botanical garden too small to be of significant value, while the nature reserve has one trail accessible to all while the others, more interesting ones, are only accessible with guides.

A wonderful place! An unforgettable experience.

These are all open trails and a tower to climb, but don't go when it is raining. The trails get flooded. They'll tell you it's ok (to be able to rent you wellingtons) but you'll be walking around in the rain. A cheap cafe and huge spiders but that's about it.
