Encontro das Aguas Tours and Tickets

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, then take a motorized canoe up some of the Rio Negro's smaller tributaries.

See the Meeting of the Waters, where the Negro and Solimoes rivers run side by side, during this 6-hour tour from Manaus. Cruise along the waterways, past floating villages, until you reach the famous spot, where your local guide will explain the mechanics of this phenomenon. Watch for native flora and fauna along the riverbanks on the way to Januari Lake, where you'll stop for a traditional Amazonian lunch comprised of fresh fish and produce. If the water levels are high enough, tour the flooded mangrove forests before returning to dry land. Round-trip transportation from Manaus hotels is provided.

Combine a visit to the Meeting of the Waters, a trip to an indigenous village, and a chance to see the Amazon river dolphin in the wild during this 8-hour speedboat tour from Manaus. National Park entrance fees, lunch, and round-trip transportation from your Manaus hotel are included.
