The '''Meeting of Waters''' ({{lang-pt|Encontro das Águas}}) is the [[confluence]] between the [[Rio Negro (Amazon)|Rio Negro]], a river with dark ([[blackwater river|almost black-looking]]) water, and the sandy-colored [[Amazon River]] or [[Rio Solimões]], as the upper section of the [[Amazon River|Amazon]] is known in [[Brazil]] upriver of this confluence. For 6 km (3.7 mi) the two rivers' waters run side by side without mixing. It is one of the main [[tourist]] attractions of [[Manaus]], Brazil. The same also happens near [[Santarém, Pará]] with the Amazon and [[Tapajós]] rivers. This phenomenon occurs in other regions of the world with differing characters of rivers. |

This phenomenon is due to the differences in temperature, speed and water density of the two rivers. The Rio Negro flows at near 2 km per hour at a temperature of 28°[[degree Celsius|C]], while the Rio Solimões flows between 4 and 6 km per hour at a temperature of 22°[[degree Celsius|C]]. |
