Cururu River (Tapajós River tributary)

The Cururu River is a river located in Pará state, Brazil. It is a significant tributary of the Tapajós River, joining the Tapajós in the Lower Tapajós region. The river flows through a sparsely populated area, primarily consisting of Amazon rainforest. Information regarding the river's length, watershed area, and specific navigable sections can be inconsistent and requires further corroboration from authoritative sources. Indigenous communities reside along the Cururu River, and their traditional way of life is intrinsically linked to the river's resources. The river's ecology is also subject to the pressures of deforestation and resource extraction in the broader Amazon basin. Its waters are vital for transportation, fishing, and drinking water for the communities situated along its banks.
