Situada a 369 km de Manaus, capital do Amazonas, a ilha da Magia fica às margens do rio Amazonas, o maior rio do mundo.
Os Festivais de Parintins são considerados um dos maiores Festivais Folclóricos de Parintins do Brasil, atraindo milhares de visitantes todos os anos. Além disso, os Festivais do Gado também são uma atração imperdível durante a temporada de festas em Parintins.

Festivals of Parintins: A Unique Cultural Experience
Festivals of Parintins have become a major attraction for tourists looking to immerse themselves in the rich folklore of the region. The Folcloric Festivals of Parintins, also known as the Festivals of the Cattle, are a vibrant celebration of local traditions and legends that captivate visitors from around the world.
For those who have not yet experienced the magic of Parintins, there are various ways that they can explore this cultural extravaganza. From the bustling streets filled with colorful costumes to the electrifying performances at the Bumbódromo, there is no shortage of excitement for visitors to enjoy.
One of the most popular ways for tourists to reach Parintins is by boat. Boats are not only a common and affordable mode of transportation to the island, but they also offer a unique experience for visitors. With the anticipation of over 95,000 people arriving on the island of Tupinambarana during the festival week, boats play a crucial role in transporting guests to the heart of the festivities.
These boats, capable of accommodating anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000 passengers, serve not only as a means of transportation but also as temporary lodging for many tourists. The rivalry between Caprichoso and Garantido comes to life on these vessels, where passengers can witness the fierce competition firsthand.
Each boat, ship, or ferry boat has its own charm and amenities. Most boats provide ample space for hanging hammocks, the preferred accommodation choice for passengers during their journey. From 2 to 3 decks to larger ferry boats with up to four decks, these vessels are transformed into a sea of hammocks during the festival season.
Prices for boat travel vary, ranging from R$300.00 for a round trip with hammock accommodation to R$6,000.00 for a couple’s suite complete with TV, air conditioning, and private bathroom, including festival accommodation.
Exploring Parintins by Speedboat
In addition to boats, speedboats, locally known as ‘voadeiras,’ are a popular choice for transporting tourists between Amazonian cities and Parintins. With fares ranging from R$400 to R$600, these speedboats offer a faster alternative, with travel times averaging between 8 to 11 hours, depending on the direction of the journey.
Traveling from Manaus to Parintins is typically quicker due to the downstream flow of the Amazon River. Conversely, the return journey from Parintins to Manaus may take up to 11 hours, as it goes against the river’s current.
Equipped with air conditioning, bathrooms, and onboard services such as breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks included in the ticket price, speedboats provide a comfortable and convenient way to travel. Additionally, passengers can enjoy Wi-Fi services, often powered by Starlink, along with the option to purchase food and beverages onboard.
Air Travel to Parintins
For those seeking a faster and more convenient mode of transportation, commercial flights are available through Azul, the airline responsible for connecting Parintins to Manaus. With 150 extra flights scheduled during the festival week, visitors have the option to fly directly to the heart of the Festivals of Parintins, ensuring a seamless travel experience.
