The most annual rainfall on Earth is in the Amazon. The Amazon's biome is tropical rainforest.

Actually, while the Amazon can receive well over 100 inches annually, the most in the world occurs in other places in the Tropics where the topography allows for orographic lift of the air, which forces air to rise and squeezes out even more moisture. For example, Mt Waialeale, Hawaii averages 460 inches annually. Mawsynram, India sits at about 4600 feet and averages about the same amount. Unofficially, a location in Columbia at only 500 feet (LLoro) averages over 520" from upslope rains off of both oceans.
