Encyclopedic overview
The Juruá River (Portuguese: Rio Juruá [ʒuɾuˈa]; Spanish: Río Yuruá) is a southern affluent river of the Amazon River west of the Purus River. The Juruá emerges from highlands in east-central Peru, then winds its way through lowlands in Brazil, sharing with this the bottom of the immense inland Amazon depression; and having all the characteristics of the Purus as regards curvature, sluggishness and general features of the low, half-flooded forest country it traverses.
For most of its length, the river flows through the Purus várzea ecoregion. This is surrounded by the Juruá-Purus moist forests ecoregion. The Juruá rises among the Ucayali highlands, and is navigable and unobstructed for a distance of 1,133 km (704 mi) above its junction with the Amazon. It has a total length of approximately 3,283 km (2,040 mi), and is one of the longest tributaries of the Amazon.
