Sorry for taking this long, had forggoten about this aahahha, i'm from Manaus, you can hit me up when you get here, maybe i can tell you which places you should fo etc.
well... Brazil is not a safe country, Manaus is a great a beautiful city, but is not THAT safe. The thing is: walk with your thins always hidden, don't have your camera always showing, put your phone on your pocket, the money on your pocket as well, or your bag maybe, don't go around showing off, people can literally put a knife on your neck, ask for it and run away!
the places you should avoid are the obvious one, like empty streets at night (actually you should ALWAYS take care at night, at any place) or the most poor part of the city. you can send a msg here asking for something else, it's night here now, so i won't talk much now, but i would love to answer something for anyone

im from germany, never been to south america, always wanted to see the rainforrest. i thought manaus is perfect because its right in the forrest but still a big city with great architecture. since my gf works for an airline now, we are able to do the trip soon. what options do i have too see the forrest? of course i wouldnt want to go alone but dont want to go with group of 20 other tourrist as well. also how are the risks of getting hurt by animals? is there safe areas in manaus or do i take a high risk of getiing robbed/hurt just by going outside?

basically u guys are all killing your rainforest right? So do we have to see it now before you ruin it?

the risks of getting hurt by people are higher than by animals
just avoid going to brazil at all, is not worth it
been there in 2012 to never went back
