Amazon River
No. 11 of Best Things to Do in Brazil

Amazon River

4.8/5

Amazon Riveroriginates in the Andes of Peru, flows from west to east across the South American continent, and then empties into the Atlantic Ocean in northeastern Brazil. Its main stream flows through Peru, Colombia, and Brazil, with most of its course located within Brazil. Its basin covers several countries in South America and features numerous tributaries. It is a river with a large discharge and a vast basin area. Along the river, there are vast rainforest views, the waters are expansive, and the river views are distinctive. Visitors can take a boat tour to enjoy the rainforest scenery on both banks up close, observe diverse wildlife, experience the unique natural landscape of this waterway, and enjoy the pristine ecological scenery of South America.Manacapuru · 74.1 km from Manaus

Meeting of Waters lies 10 kilometers downstream from Manaus, where the dark waters of the Rio Negro meet the pale, yellowish Solimões River; only after merging do they officially form the main stem of the Amazon River. This stretch of water has become a popular attraction in the vicinity of Manaus. Viewed from downstream, the contrast is striking: the murky yellow Solimões on the left and the inky black Rio Negro on the right remain distinct, separated by a clear line that cleaves the broad expanse of water in two—like a watery fissure dividing two separate worlds. With a temperature difference of several degrees Celsius between the two rivers, navigating the area offers a vivid, firsthand experience of the contrasting conditions, serving as a compelling natural lesson in understanding the Amazon river system.Careiro da Varzea · 13.1 km from Manaus

San Sebastian Church is a small church built in 1888, located in San Sebastian Square. It is small but beautiful and well-preserved. The interior of the church is decorated with representative European-style stained glass windows, ceilings and walls. There are murals. At the same time, the Church of St. Sebastian is a neoclassical church with medieval imprints, and a weekly mass is held in the church.Manaus · 1.2 km from downtown

Kudzu vines, orchids, and bromeliads cling to the high branches, and monkeys, sloths, hummingbirds, macaws, giant butterflies, and countless bats live there. In the water live caimans, freshwater turtles, and aquatic mammals such as manatees and freshwater dolphins. On land live jaguars, slender-waisted cats, tapirs, capybaras, armadillos, and more. There are also 2,500 species of fish and more than 1,600 species of birds.
