🌊 Meeting of the Waters – Two mighty rivers, the Rio Negro (black water) and Rio Solimões (brown water), flow side by side without mixing for kilometers! It looks like a giant nature-made milkshake. 😲🌊
🏛️ Amazon Theatre – Manaus has a beautiful opera house with a colorful dome made of 36,000 tiles! This grand building was created during the rubber boom, when Manaus was one of the richest cities in the world. 🎭✨
