The total length of the river, measured from the headwaters of the Ucayali-Apurímac river system in southern Peru, is at least 4,000 miles (6,400 km), making it slightly shorter than the Nile River, but equal to the distance from New York to Rome. Its westernmost source is high in the Andes Mountains, within 100 miles (160 kilometers) of the Pacific Ocean, and its mouth in the Atlantic Ocean, on the northeast coast of Brazil. However, both the length of the Amazon and its ultimate source have been topics of debate since the mid-20th century, with some claiming that the Amazon is actually longer than the Nile. The Amazon River is located in South America.
