Could the Amazon's jungle exist in a continent without the Andes mountain chain?

I assume a planet like earth. Obviously the Amazon river is fed into the Andes mountains as well as other rivers that give water to the system. Could the same amount of water come from a specific climate setting? Would a lighter terrain slope be enough to distribute that water and create such an environment? Would ocean currents change the climate making it less homogeneous?
