Cururu River (Tapajós River)

The Cururu River is a river of Pará state in north-central Brazil. It is a right tributary of the Tapajós; the mouth is located on the eastern side of the Tapajós about 15 km (9.3 mi) north of the Juruena–Teles Pires junction.

The river flows through the Itaituba I National Forest, a 220,639 hectares (545,210 acres) sustainable use conservation area established in 1998. The lower part of the river flows through the Mundurucu Indigenous Territory.
