No. The most distant source of the Amazon River is a glacial stream on a snowcapped mountain peak in the Peruvian Andes. The Amazon River flows from this source to its mouth, where it empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The Amazon Rain Forest grows on either side of the Amazon River and its many tributaries, but does not come in contact with the Pacific Ocean because of the Andes mountain range.
