• MANAUS

Take a boat trip to enjoy “Encontro das Aguas”, a wonderful and natural spectacle where the dark-colored water of the Rio Negro joins the light brown muddy water of the Rio Solimões for more than three miles without fully mixing. In addition, in Manaus you can discover some wonderful natural parks like Jaú and Janaurai, or an interesting colonial architecture with beautiful buildings like the Opera House (“Teatro Amazonas”) or the Palacio Rio Negro.
• RÍO DE JANEIRO
