It contains much more water than the Nile, the Yangtze and the Mississippi together and accounts for nearly a fifth of the planet's fresh water current. The highest and most distant source of the Amazon has been located in the mountains Chila, in the foothills of Mount Mismi, Arequipa, Peru. Among the several names given to the Amazon River along its course, stand out on the following: Lloqueta, Apurimac, Ene, Tambo, Ucayali, Marañón and Amazon.
