After breakfast, an excursion to the "meeting of the
waters", a natural phenomenon caused by the joining of
the Negro River's darker water with the muddy water of the
Solimoes River. For over six kilometers, the rivers run side
by side, without mixing. This happens due to the difference
between their temperature, density and also, the speed of
their currents: Negro River runs at about 2 km/h at a temperature
of 22 C, while Solimões River runs at 4 to 6 km/h with
a temperature of 28 C. Chance for some piranha fishing before
returning to the lodge.
