In March 1500, Spanish conquistador Vicente Yáñez Pinzón was the first documented European to sail up the Amazon River. Pinzón called the stream Río Santa María del Mar Dulce, later shortened to Mar Dulce, literally, sweet sea, because of its fresh water pushing out into the ocean. Another Spanish explorer, Francisco de Orellana, was the first European to travel from the origins of the upstream river basins, situated in the Andes, to the mouth of the river. In this journey, Orellana baptised some of the affluents of the Amazonas like Rio Negro, Napo and Jurua. The name Amazonas is taken from the native warriors that attacked this expedition, mostly women, that reminded De Orellana of the mythical female Amazon warriors from the ancient Hellenic culture in Greece.

I mars 1500 var spansk conquistador Vicente Yáñez Pinzón den första dokumenterade europé som seglade uppför Amazonfloden. Pinzón kallade bäcken Río Santa María del Mar Dulce, senare förkortat till Mar Dulce, bokstavligen, ljuva hav, på grund av att dess sötvatten tränger ut i havet. En annan spansk upptäcktsresande, Francisco de Orellana, var den förste europé som reste från ursprunget till de uppströms belägna avrinningsområdena i Anderna till flodens mynning. Under denna resa döpte Orellana några av amasonernas välbärgar som Rio Negro, Napo och Jurua. Namnet Amazonas är taget från de inhemska krigare som attackerade denna expedition, mestadels kvinnor, som påminde De Orellana om de mytiska kvinnliga amasonkrigarna från den antika Hellenska kulturen i Grekland. Är det sant att amazonfloden börjar i Anderna? ALTERNATIV: - nej - ja
