Meeting of the Waters
By Linda Tancs
The Meeting of the Waters is the confluence between the dark Rio Negro and the pale, sandy-colored Amazon River, referred to as the Solimões River in Brazil upriver of this confluence. For nearly 4 miles the two Amazon tributaries flow side by side without mixing, forming a boundary that’s visible from space. The phenomenon is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Manaus, Brazil. Several guided tours will take you there; you might also experience it on a cruise ship.
