Meeting of Waters
Meeting of Waters lies 10 kilometers downstream from Manaus, where the dark waters of the Rio Negro meet the pale, yellowish Solimões River; only after merging do they officially form the main stem of the Amazon River.

Viewed from downstream, the contrast is striking: the murky yellow Solimões on the left and the inky black Rio Negro on the right remain distinct, separated by a clear line that cleaves the broad expanse of water in two—like a watery fissure dividing two separate worlds. With a temperature difference of several degrees Celsius between the two rivers, navigating the area offers a vivid, firsthand experience of the contrasting conditions, serving as a compelling natural lesson in understanding the Amazon river system.Careiro da Varzea · 13.1 km from Manaus
