En route to the Lodge, we stop to observe the magnificent Meeting of the Waters, where the muddy waters of the Solimões River meet the black waters of the Negro River. At this crucial jonction point, the two rivers - with different speeds, temperatures and consistencies - run side by side for several kilometers without actually mixing, ultimately joining to form the great Amazon River.
