Meeting of the waters

The river trip has been interesting. Two very different ecosystems..... The Amazon River and the Rio Negro.

The Amazon with its brown water and abundant human and wild...mainly bird... life.
The Rio Negro with its vast width, flooded forests and Black clear water with limited visibility and almost devoid of life compared to the Amazon. Only human life near Manaus.

The Amazon is the better of the two if you have to choose one for a cruise. It is a better reflection of life in the Amazon region.

We now again at the merging of the two rivers before docking in Manaus.

Spending the day in Manaus doing the sites before our midnight flight. Crazy flight times.Read more
