The Rio Negro, which you navigate when traveling to the Amazon, is the largest tributary on the left bank of the Amazon River and bathes three countries in South America, namely: Brazil, Venezuela and Colombia – where it originates, in fact.
Although it is the second largest in water volume, second only to the Amazon, it is the longest blackwater river in the world.
Its waters are navigable for 720 kilometers above its mouth and can only be 1 meter deep in times of drought.
These moments of drought and floods completely transform the landscapes, although the scenery in both seasons is beautiful.
The city of Manaus is bathed by this river and is the starting point for Vivalá Expeditions.
Now that we’ve talked a little about the formation of Rio, below we’ll bring you more information about the culture and other tourist attractions visited during an Expedition to the Amazon.
