Even so, the ideal is to get the ticket in advance. Outside the festival period, MAP is the airline that offers daily flights to Parintins.
Boat - The trip takes eight to 24 hours, depending on the boat. During the festival period, the line boats leave the port of Manaus Moderna and are moored at the edge of Parintins until the end of the festival.

Gastronomy
Rich, tasty, diverse and with a peculiar caboclo touch from Parintinense, the cuisine of Parintins stands out for serving typical dishes that blend traditional palates with a hint of innovation, introducing spices and flavors that the generous nature of the Amazon offers. Baked, fried, boiled in marinade sauce, breaded, tucupi, tucumã paste or taperebá sauce, fish is the favorite dish, closely followed by duck and free-range chicken.

Security
With the exception of some known high-risk areas (essentially in urban areas) and easily identifiable, tourist Brazil has a medium safety profile. Thus, as a rule, some caution and attention is advised when walking on foot in urban centers, especially at night, even in places of high tourist frequency, because of the possible occurrence of robberies and theft, sometimes with great physical violence.

Transporting and displaying any objects that may be viewed as valuable is not recommended. In the event of a robbery, one should never offer the least resistance or seek escape, given the high possibility of being subjected to violence.

Motoring at night or using taxis that are not accredited by the tourist authorities or recommended by hotel units should be avoided.

Tourists are advised to bring only photocopies of their documents, leaving the originals in the hotel safe.
