1. Meeting of the Waters
The Meeting of the Waters is one of the most impressive tourist attractions you can enjoy in Manaus. This unique phenomenon occurs when the Black and Solimões rivers meet without mixing for several kilometers.
The Black River is characterized by its dark, almost black waters, while the Solimões River has brown waters due to its high sediment content. Despite their color difference, these two rivers flow side by side for a stretch before finally merging and becoming the Amazon River.
Witnessing this natural phenomenon is simply breathtaking. You can take a boat ride along the rivers and marvel at the beauty of nature. Don't miss this wonder on your visit to Manaus!
