The excursion to the meeting of the waters between Rio Negro and Solimões leaves from the floating dock (Manaus floating harbor or Tropical Pier), navigating downstream the
Rio Negro and observing at left bank the city of Manaus,
some wooden houses - a typical building, the floating gas
station, the Main Market and Educandos creek.
We proceed
to the meeting of the waters where the muddy waters of
the Solimões River run side by side
with the dark ones of the Rio Negro without mixing.
Having good luck, we can see some species of Boto Tucuxi
(Sotalia Fluviatalis) and Boto rosa (Inia Geoffrensis),
dolphin frolicking above the water.
After that, the boat
take you across the Rio Negro to the Janauary Ecological
Park which afford you a wonderful opportunity to canoe
amidst creeks and flooded forests with their exotic fauna
and flora, including the famous Victoria Regia water
lilies.
During summer time, creeks draught with low level of the rivers in the region and the visit Janauary Park is replaced by a walking to the forests.
The tour can depart from Tropical Pier or Manaus Harbor. In case you will stay in Tropical Hotel and the tour departs from Harbor the transfer Tropical-harbor-Tropical is included. Although, the tour departing from Topical does not include transfer, so if you will stay in a different hotel, the transfer will be charged as informed above.
