Overview
Cruise down the Rio Negro to view the 'Meeting of the Waters', where the black Rio Negro and the muddy brown Amazon converge, on this full-day excursion from Manaus. This stretch of water, where the two differently colored rivers flow separately for a few miles, makes for spectacular photographs. Eat lunch at a floating restaurant and stop to see the Victoria regia water plant at an ecological park.
- Experience the Amazon Rainforest and see the Meeting of the Waters, where the Rio Negro joins the Amazon River
- Admire panoramic views of Manaus from the boat
- Visit January Ecological Park, where you'll see the native Amazon flower, Victoria regia
- Lunch and hotel pickup and drop-off included
Saved to wishlist!
Following pickup from your hotel in Manaus, transfer to a boat for your day on the river.
Glide out of the Port of Manaus, heading toward the convergence of the Rio Negro and the Amazon. As you leave the port behind you, observe the traditional riverboats bearing local goods from upriver, bound for Manaus' markets. Admire views of this city on the river from your watery vantage point.
When you reach the 'Meeting of the Waters', observe how the dark water of the Rio Negro and the muddy water of the Amazon refuse to mix and instead flow alongside each other for more than 3 miles (5km).
Continue up the Rio Negro to January Ecological Park, home to the Victoria regia, the famous Amazon water plant. Stop at a floating restaurant for a traditional Brazilian lunch.
