Manaus is a city with rough and uneven roads, which can be difficult to navigate. Therefore, it is recommended to hire an SUV or a pickup truck with high clearance. These types of cars are ideal for driving on rough terrain, and they provide better visibility on the road. Additionally, due to the high amount of rain and the humidity of the city, it is important to choose a vehicle with good air conditioning and a reliable engine. A pickup truck or an SUV with a petrol engine can be a good choice since they are more reliable in high-temperature environments.
