How much of the Amazon river is in Peru? <\/h2>\n

The Amazon basin is the largest hydrographic basin in the world, covering an area of approximately 7 million square kilometers. The basin is home to the Amazon River, the largest river in the world by discharge, and to the Amazon rainforest, the largest tropical forest in the world. The basin is drained by a network of over 1,000 tributaries, and is bounded by the Andes mountains to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Amazon rainforest to the north. The basin covers an area of 96,92247 square kilometers, making it the largest basin in Peru and approximately 1613% of the whole Amazon basin.<\/p>\n

The Amazon proper runs mostly through Brazil and Peru, and is part of the border between Colombia and Perú. It has a series of major tributaries in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, some of which flow into the Marañón and Ucayali, and others directly into the Amazon proper.<\/p>\n
