The Amazon flows from Peru east through Brazil to the Atlantic. It drains the northwest two-thirds of Brazil, the eastern three-fourths of Peru, the northern third of Bolivia, and a bit of Colombia. Its main tributaries are the Negro in the north, the Madeira, Xingu, and Tocantins in the south, and the Marañón and Ucayali in Peru.
