The rivers beginning can be traced from the Peruvian Andes which lie some 1oo miles within the Pacific Ocean and it swells from the rivers that feed it, it descends to some 5,000 meters to the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way the giant river takes several names it winds its down. Before it even enters Brazil, the Amazon is referred to as Solimoes and as it is joined by the Negro River, it now becomes the might Amazon.
