The Meeting of Waters is a natural phenomenon occurring near Manaus, Brazil, where the dark waters of the Rio Negro and the sandy-colored waters of the Rio Solimões flow side by side without mixing for several kilometers. This striking visual contrast is due to differences in temperature, speed, and water density between the two rivers. The Rio Negro's water is warmer and flows more slowly, while the Rio Solimões is cooler and faster-moving.
