It is the Amazonas River...the springs can be found on the Andes Mountains, very influenced by snow meltings, and it flows all over the Amazon Forests until meeting with the Atlantic ocean between Para and Amapá State.

well, I would say that taking account all the tributaries, it is Amazon River, but the biggest river in Brazil is probably São Francisco, that is formed in the middle of it and goes a long way to the north and than to east. I believe the Brazilian part of the Amazon is not as long as the São Francisco.

Again, the longest river in Brazil is the Amazon, it has about 6.937 according to our geographical institute INPE. I know that the river starts in the South of Peru and it ends in the Atlantic Ocean, Brazilian Side.

San Francisco River starts in Minas Garais State, at Canastra Range, it ends in Piaçabuçu in the State of Alagoas, close to a famous town called Penedo. The river has 2 830 kilometers, so it does not even reach half of the extention of the Amazon River!
