The Amazon River is the longest in the world measuring 7020 km, it originates at the foot of the Mismi mountain in Peru and empties into the Atlantic Ocean from Brazil. Its mighty tributaries also pass through Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guyana, French Guiana and Suriname.There is no bridge crossing this river. The Spanish explorer Francisco de Orellana was the first European to navigate it to its mouth in 1541. Orellana reported upon his return to Spain that the brigs had been attacked by numerous female warriors who mastered the bow and arrows.Thus, giving a Homeric touch to the story, he decided to name the Amazon River after the mythical women who had fought against Heracles and Achilles in Greek mythology.

The Amazon River, located in South America, is a treasure trove of nature, with its rainforest, wildlife, and river adventures awaiting exploration and conservation.
