Amazon's Pororoca - the World's Longest Wave
The Araguari pororoca is the most frightening, and dangerous, of all the Amazonian tidal bores. Feared and revered by the Tupi-Guarani Indians, who called it poroc poroc, or great destructive noise , the tremendous Araguari pororoca is powerful enough to tear entire trees from the river bank in its fury...and captivating enough to tempt surfers from all over the world to ride its untamed waves.
