	Amazon River
		The Amazon originates from a cliff at the Nevado Mismi, with a sole sign of a wooden cross.
		The waters from Nevado Mismi flow into the Quebradas Carhuasanta and Apacheta, which flow into the Río Apurímac which is a tributary of the Ucayali which later joins the Marañón to form the Amazon proper.
		Support bases were established in Cuzco, in the mountains, Ericipa on the Pacific coast and in the cordillera de Chilca at Calioma for the Amazons origin high in the mountains.

		The ultimate source of the Amazon has only recently been firmly established as a stream on a 5,597 metre (18,363 ft) peak called Nevado Mismi in the Peruvian Andes, roughly 160 km (100 miles) N.N.E. of Lima.
		The stream from Nevado Mismi flows into Lake Lauricocha and then the Apurímac River.

	12/18/00 -- US team identifies Andean source of Amazon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		A CRYSTAL stream that trickles down the rock wall of the 18,000ft Nevado Mismi peak in the southern Peruvian Andes has been identified as the source of the Amazon by a team of American-led scientists.
		From the Nevado Mismi the Amazon starts a winding journey through a grass-and-moss-covered Andean valley to be joined by other streams and rivers before meandering towards the Atlantic through the world's largest rainforest.
		Nevado Mismi fits both these definitions," said Andrew Johnston, a geographer with the Smithsonian Institution who took part in the trip.

		French explorer Michel Perrin claimed in 1953 that the source could be found on the Huagra Mountain, while English journalist Nicholas Asheshov and parachutist John Ridgway believed that the mountain in question was Minaspata and yet others pointed to the Vilafro Lake or the Huarajo stream.
		Carlos Peñaherrera del Águila, claimed that the location under discussion was located in Nevado Mismi.
		Two years later cartographers from National Geographic Magazine identified on maps that the farthest point from the mouth of the Amazon, and therefore the place where the river was born, was Nevado Mismi, the place mentioned by Peñaherrera.

		It flows from a 5,597 metre- (18,363 foot-) high peak called Nevado Mismi, which has now been surveyed by the explorers using satellite navigation equipment.
		A National Geographic team had established Mismi as the river's source in 1971, but in recent years the possibility had been raised that the actual source was a different stream flowing from another mountain.
		Smithsonian Institution geographer Andrew Johnson said the source of the Amazon could be defined as the most distant point in the drainage basin from which surface water ran year round, or the furthest point from which water could possibly flow to the Atlantic.

		In 1971 a National Geographic expedition led by explorer-journalist Loren McIntyre identified Nevado Mismi as the source.
		The source of the river, he says, can be defined as the most distant point in the drainage basin from which water runs year-around, or the furthest point from which water could possibly flow into the ocean.
		He first became interested in Nevado Mismi when he saw it while leading a group of kayakers from Poland into the area in 1981.

		Mismi was identified as the source of the Amazon in a 1971 National Geographic expedition, but in recent years at least one other stream, flowing from a separate peak, has been in contention as the Amazon’s ultimate source.
		The GPS equipment used by the expedition is considered accurate to within 1 to 5 meters; this is the first time such high-precision equipment is known to have been used in this remote area.
		“Nevado Mismi fits both of these definitions.” The mapping effort found another stream to be slightly longer than that flowing from Mismi, but it was discounted as the source because it does not flow year-round in its upper reaches.

		Este arroyo recoge las aguas de los glaciares del Mismi y posteriormente serpentea por un valle cubierto de hierba y musgo, donde se le unen otras corrientes antes de entrar en la Amazonia.
		En el mismo Nevado del Mismi, los expedicionarios encontraron un brazo más largo todavía, pero su caudal desaparece en algunas épocas del año, por lo que lo descartaron como el punto más alejado del Amazonas.

		El origen del Amazonas estaría en los deshielos del Choquecorao., un nevado de más de 5 mil metros de altura, ubicado al lado izquierdo del nevado Mismi.
		El aporte de este último nevado a la cuenca del Amazonas es mínimo, puesto que, por lo menos hace dos décadas, dicha elevación ha perdido sus nieves perpetuas.

		According to different scientific expeditions, the last in the year 2000, the furthest possible point from where water flows all year long into the Amazon drainage system is located on the slopes of the 'Nevado Mismi' in the south of Peru close to the village of Chivay, a few hours from Arequipa.
		The way leads from Mismi's first appearance on the horizon all the way up the slopes close to it's top, where a large rock produces a few tiny waters that will join with countless others to become the Amazon and end in the Atlantic Ocean about 6.300 km downstream.
