Manaus, Brazil is 900 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean. This is where the mighty Amazon is formed by the merging of the Rio Negro with the Rio Solimoes. The differing speed, density, and temperature of the waters prevents the immediate blending of the water so there is a distinct delineation between the two. Because the level of the river varies considerably during the year, the gas stations for the boats are actually floating off shore.
