Parque Mindu is a bit of an ecologic oasis in the middle of the urban jungle of Manaus. Although ti might not the city's largest park, it is the most accesible.
Located just 20 minutes from downtown, you are almost guaranteed to be able to see the pied-face taramarin, an endemic and endangered species.

Stop looking at me, Swan!

The park is primarily used for environmental education purposes, giving school groups a flavor of the local ecosystem. We were impressed by how accessible the park is for everybody. First off, it is free. Also, all the signs are in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Most impressively, the trails are wheelchair accessible.

| The wheelchair trails are the main trails and the same ones for everyone. |

| We came across this cute guy on the trail, and he wanted us to take his picture. We obliged. |
