What is the correct translation of Amazon River. I have seen Rio Amazonas, but that doesn't seem right. It seems it should be Rio Amazon.

I believe that rio Amazonas is correct. You don't capitalize the "rio" in Spanish.
Edit
I just confirmed this answer by looking at Wikipedia in Spanish.
El río Amazonas, ubicado en Sudamérica, es el río más largo, el más caudaloso y el que tiene la cuenca de mayor superficie de nuestro planeta.
