The port market: crates of jaraqui and tambaqui, Uarini farinha by the kilo, tucumã, pupunha and the racket of boats arriving from upriver.

The early-20th-century English floating dock that rises and falls with the river: the metal ramp carries a strip marking each year's water level.

It is not the sea: it is the Rio Negro. October's low water stretches the sand to its maximum and leaves the city's biggest river beach.

The Negro, black and warm, and the Solimões, muddy and cold, run side by side for 6 km without mixing: different temperature, density, speed and pH. Only after that is the Amazon born.
Tip: The quickest, cheapest option leaves from Porto da Ceasa: about R$ 20 a head from four people, or around R$ 80 for the boat, 10 minutes across and half an hour out. The full tour with dolphins and lunch leaves 8–9am, back by 3pm, R$ 100–200.

The appliance chain born in Manaus: the real gauge of Free Trade Zone prices.
