This research was developed in Ucayali and Marañon rivers and in the area of confluence to form the Amazon River in the rainforest of Peru. Political location: Loreto Department, Loreto Province, Nauta District. The rivers in study present variations in the amount of sediments that are carried in the liquid flow, which vary according to the vertical sections (left, center and right) and, according to depth. In Marañon river, at different depths of the vertical right section, was obtained 4.13 g of sediment, being the depth of 7.5 m which reached the value of 1.59 g, also noting similar behavior in the other vertical sections of the river, where the particles of silt and clay in relation with the sand, whose size range from 1 mm to 180 μm, with a weight of 7.09 g. In regard to Ucayali River, according to the results, the largest amount of sediment transport is reflected in the vertical center section with 4.2 g, at a depth of 15 m, where the particles of silt and clay predominate in larger numbers than sand, highlighting the smaller particles than 180 μm, whose value is of 8.49 g. The Amazon River, area of confluence of Marañon and Ucayali rivers, is the one that carries the greatest amount of sediment in the river course, whose vertical right section reaches a value of 4.85 g, reaching the highest speed of transport according to the three vertical sections, with a total of 13.9 g of sediments, highlighting the particles of silt and clay with 9.93 g. Also, the Amazon River is the one that presented higher liquid flow of 43, 414 m3/ s and the Ucayali River 19,395 m3/s approximately, emphasizing also the Amazon River with respect to transport of solid flow whose value was 761,941 tons per day, and the Marañon River reached a value of 304,228 tons per day.
