Queen Mary of Denmark kicked off her trip to Brazil with a visit to Manaus – which is known as one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
The royal, 52, was effortlessly elegant as she visited the Amazon Museum MUSA at the Adolpho Ducke forest reserve – and later visited the Teatro Amazonas.
She is in the country for a four day official visit, where she and the Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities Lars Aagaard are focusing on ‘Danish-Brazilian cooperation on biodiversity, health and the fight against violence against women’.
On Wednesday, she started appeared to be in great spirits as she took in stunning views of the Amazon.
The Queen basked in the sunlight while at the observation tower from the museum, sporting a chic yet practical button-up with trousers.

Mary donned a sage green shirt, the perfect ensemble for an active outing in nature, with brown cargos.
She kept her make-up light, accessorising with a pair of sunglasses, and styling her brunette tresses in a braid.
It comes as last week she joined her husband King Frederik and his aunt Princess Benedikte at the state opening of parliament.
The Danish queen, who shares four children with King Frederik, looked typically stylish in a coat dress and matching hat with a brooch.

Queen Mary’s coat dress was belted at the waist and fell just below the knee.
The Australian-born royal wore her long brown hair in a bow-dry beneath her hat and carried a bouquet of pink flowers.
The three Danish royals were seated apart in the upper gallery, although Mary and Frederik were seen leaning across the empty seat between them to talk.

King Frederik wore a three-piece navy suit complete with a pale blue shirt and a bronze tie.
His aunt, Princess Benedikte, looked equally smart in a cream, tweed skirt suit, which she paired with a sky-blue hat and matching scarf.
She wore a pair of diamond earrings and carried a quilted Chanel handbag.
Margarethe, 84, a distant cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II, announced her abdication on New Years Eve, having reigned for 52 years – making her the second-longest reigning Danish monarch.
Recently hospitalised after suffering a fall, she is ‘doing very well’ – although she was not present at today’s event.
Gathered for the opening of the Danish parliament, which takes place on the first Tuesday in October, the royals were joined by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who arrived with her husband Bo Tengberg, 59.
Mette Frederiksen, the youngest prime minister in Danish history, was dressed in a dark pink trouser suit while her husband looked smart in dark suit and tie.
With her hair brushed back, natural make-up and a wide smile, Prime Minister Frederiksen cut a stylish but approachable figure.
Last week, Mary gave an informal update regarding her mother-in-law’s health.
