The encontro das aguas is where the two rivers The Black River and the River Solimões meet, but because of their difference in temperature, density and velocity. It is believe to be the beginning of the Amazon river :). You can put your hand in the two rivers and feel how the temperature is so different how awesome is that!. After we visited the encontro we had a little ride through the Amazon river. In our ride Washington our tour guide( second picture below) explains that some people leaving in the Amazons river don't have a boat so the barely leave their houses and because they are so poor they only think and work for the food of the day. They eat tapioca flour all the time and sometimes meat. We saw cows that had a month without eating crazy!!! and sometimes anacondas would eat their food like chickens etc.
I need to tell you i little bit about Washington he is from Guiana Inglesa and he is 55 years olds. Interesting facts about him well he had Malaria 22 times and he got married the first time when he was 15 and when he moved to Brazil he was living in an Indian village. He has had a sad life, but he has lived so much in just 55 years, he is the cutest guy ever and he is so nice! After the ride we went to a floating restaurants where we fed wild monkeys! Then we went to a house where they had an anaconda and a sloth :D. Finally, we went on a walk in the jungle where I learned how to make an Indian crown with leafs.
