The Mucutá River (Portuguese: Rio Mucutá) is a river of Marajó, which itself is an island in the Amazon Delta. It is located in the state Pará in northern Brazil, and is a tributary to the Piriá River.
The Mucutá flows into south-western direction until half of its length, where it suddenly turns into south-eastern direction. Geological processes have slightly elevated the terrain between the Mucutá and the Guajará River.[1]
The river runs through part of the 194,868 hectares (481,530 acres) Terra Grande-Pracuúba Extractive Reserve, a sustainable use conservation unit created in 2006.[2]
