Yea those Andes are crazy ... no wonder the Amazon comes out of them!

Amazon's discharge is not big because of the mountains, but it flows around the equator, where the rain never stops.

The upper section in the Andes it's called Apurímac. Just see the images on wiki, it's not very wide while leaving the mountains, it gets most of its water downstream
