Average discharge at Óbidos gauge station; Period from 1969 to 2018: 5,520km 3/a (175,000m 3/s) [68] [69] Year

The main river is navigable for large ocean steamers to Manaus, 1,500km (930mi) upriver from the mouth. Smaller ocean vessels below 9000 tons and with less than 5.5m (18ft) draft can reach as far as Iquitos, Peru, 3,600km (2,200mi) from the sea. Smaller riverboats can reach 780km (480mi) higher, as far as Achual Point. Beyond that, small boats frequently ascend to the Pongo de Manseriche, just above Achual Point in Peru. [60] Lynch, David K.

When in Rio we recommend visiting some of, and if not all of the following places: Sugar Loaf, Corcodova, Tijuca Forest, the city center, and last but by no means least, a traditional Brazilian steakhouse, or Rodizio. There are people who are worse off than us,” says Brito, surveying the arid landscape that would usually be submerged under the Rio Negro’s dark waters. Wary of foreign exploitation of the nation's resources, Brazilian governments in the 1940s set out to develop the interior, away from the seaboard where foreigners owned large tracts of land. The original architect of this expansion was president Getúlio Vargas, with the demand for rubber from the Allied forces in World War II providing funding for the drive. Portuguese explorer Pedro Teixeira was the first European to travel up the entire river. He arrived in Quito in 1637, and returned via the same route. [40] The length measurements of many rivers are only approximations and differ from each other because there are many factors that determine the calculated river length, such as the position of the geographical source and the mouth, the scale of measurement, and the length measuring techniques (for details see also List of rivers by length).
