The confluence of waters is a unique natural phenomenon that occurs at the confluence of the Rio Negro and Solimões rivers (the name of the upper reaches of the Amazon River). Local residents also came up with a more romantic name for this phenomenon - “wedding of the rivers.” This is where the black waters of the Rio Negro meet the yellow waters of the Solimões River. And it is after this place that on all maps the river is called the Amazon. It is worth noting that although the rivers merge into one, due to different water densities and temperatures, a clear boundary between the waters of the two rivers is visible for another 6 kilometers. The color of the water is quite simple to explain: Solimões on its way washes away quite a lot of yellow soil, which gives it color, and the Rio Negro flows through more rocky terrain and washes away mainly black rocks, which color it. When you move your hand through the water, you feel a difference in water temperature. Swimming with Pink Dolphins $100 p/p Unique experience of swimming with Amazonian pink dolphins!
