Pororoca: the endless Amazon tidal bore wave
Welcome to Pororoca, one of the longest waves in the world. The tidal bore travels up to 500 miles (804 kilometers) upstream of the Amazon River in northern Brazil.
It’s an impressive natural phenomenon that forever remains in the memory of those who see it and ride it.
The word Pororoca should come from the indigenous Tupi word “porórka,” meaning “great roar,” or from the aboriginal term to express the act of destroying everything.
