The Cururu River (Portuguese: Rio Cururu) is a river of Marajó, which itself is an island in the Amazon Delta. It is located in the state Pará in northern Brazil.[1] Its source is in the swamp areas called mondongos that are normally flooded during the wet season.[2] It is a right tributary of the Anajás River.[3]
Eupsittula pertinax paraensis, a subspecies of the brown-throated parakeet, inhabits the basin of the Cururu.[4]
