Two Rivers Interchange

Amazon-Manus. The Negro River and Solimans River in the upper reaches of the Amazon River are different from the flow speed, temperature, acidity and alkalinity, and the proportion of substances contained.

Especially obvious dividing line, the water color is also different, local guides specialize in water from the river to let everyone see. In fact, the Black River (Nigro River) is transferred to the White River (Solimans River) in the upper reaches of the Amazon River.

The vast water surface, blue sky and white clouds, the sun is a bit dazzling, black and white two water, natural boundary, two colors contrasting contrasting water flowing in parallel, a very clear line is maintained for dozens of kilometers, suddenly creating two different worlds. On the cruise ship, tourists beckoned to us! Watching the guide's gesture, a freshwater dolphin jumped out of the river, and the video recorded this moment... On November 23, 2016, we boarded the cruise ship directly from the Manaus Tropical Hotel to the "black and white water boundary" area when the Black River entered the Amazon. The so-called "white water" refers to the mainstream Amazon river, whose color is actually light yellow, and black water is black river water. The Black River is almost the whole process in the tropical rainforest, the dense fall leaves accumulate to black the river, the thick river water is humid to acid, thousands of plants from root to leaf are all soaked in warm water, soaked for thousands of years. It is said that the black river water made of soaking can clear the heat and relieve the fire, nourish the yin and strong sun, and the local residents take the river water to make tea, which has a wonderful effect.

I went there a few years ago and had a good chance to see it again.

Iconic attraction in Manaus, well worth a visit

The upper reaches of the Amazon River consists of the Black River (also known as the Negro River) and the Solimans River. The So River is yellow and white, and the Black River is espresso. Because of the difference in proportion, flow speed and temperature, the two rivers are about 6 kilometers long side by side, and they do not violate each other. We took a boat tour of the river, and when we reached the intersection of the two rivers, the broadcast speaker would remind everyone to go to the bow to see that day was cloudy, so the effect was not very good.
