Announcement: 23 May 2007 Construction Status
The First Presidency has announced the construction of Brazil's sixth temple in Manaus—the capital city of Amazonas. Manaus is located on the Negro River about 11 miles above its confluence with the Amazon. For the thousands of saints of northern Brazil who currently travel days to reach the Caracas Venezuela Temple, a temple in Manaus will be a blessing indeed.1
