It's between the Amazon River and Rio de la Plata.
But I believe that Rio de la Plata is the widest. As Wikipedia says on this page:

(look for Rio de la Plata)

The RÃo de la Plata (Spanish: "Silver River") is the estuary formed by the combination of the Uruguay River and the Paraná River. It is a funnel-shaped indentation on the southeastern coastline of South America, extending 290 kilometres (180 mi) from the rivers' confluence to the Atlantic Ocean.
Where the rivers join, it is 48 kilometres (30 mi) wide, and it runs to the southeast growing to 220 kilometres (137 mi) wide where it opens on the Atlantic Ocean, making it the widest estuary in the world.
Non-estuary -- At its widest point the Amazon River can be 11 kilometres (7 mi) wide during the dry season, but during the rainy season when the Amazon floods the surrounding plains it can be up to 45 kilometres (28 mi) wide.
