Manaus, Brazil

 

Welcome to South America’s largest and most populous country.  You will experience one of nature’s unique anomalies—the Meeting of the Waters. Cruise along the yellow-gray Rio Solimoes to its confluence with the chocolate-colored Rio Negro, where the two rivers form the might Amazon.  For your tour miles the differently colored bodies of water flow side by side and never mix!  You can enjoy the Jungle Island with fascinating native flora and fauna. 

Manaus is located in the densest part of the Amazon Jungle, it retains vestiges of its glory days from the rubber boom.  This is evident during today’s stop at the famous Opera House, built in 1886 with materials imported from Europe.  You’ll can visit the two museums documenting a way of life from a bygone era to the present time; the Museum of Natural sciences and the Indian Museum.
