The excursion to
the meeting of the waters between Rio Negro and Solimões
leaves from the floating dock, 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. In summer time, creeks disappear because of the
low level of the rivers, so instead of going to Janauary
Park we visit Terra Nova island where you see Cocoa
plantations and natives extracting latex from heave trees.
It comes
to live the Nature in Manaus
