Two important rivers are part of the history of the Earth: the Nile and the Amazon. Both attract tourists from all over the world, who are enchanted by their natural beauty. But a question lingers in the history of these rivers: which one is the largest?
These two majestic waterways are known for their grandeur and historical importance, but now it is time to settle the debate and establish a final verdict.
An expedition, made up of renowned geography experts and scientists, will embark on an extraordinary journey that will take them to the depths of these monumental rivers.
Armed with cutting-edge technology, precise measuring equipment and an experienced team, they will dedicate themselves to collecting comprehensive and accurate data to determine which of the two deserves the title of largest river in the world.

A group of international explorers will travel the entire length of the Amazon River to prove that the Brazilian current is greater than that of the African river. The professionals will sail in ecological boats to conduct research on the aquatic territory that bathes the largest tropical forest in the world.
The “Amazon River: from ice to sea” expedition is due to begin in April 2024. With three boats powered by solar energy and pedals, the researchers will begin their journey in the Peruvian Andes, passing through Colombia and Brazil, until reaching its mouth in the Atlantic Ocean.
“The main idea is to map the entire river (…), documenting the biodiversity, for scientific purposes and to produce a documentary”, stated Brazilian explorer Yuri Sanada, project coordinator.
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the Amazon River is 6,400 km long and its source is in the Apurímac River in Peru. The Nile River is 6,650 km long, but this territorial dispute is about to receive new data that could change the facts.
