The Curuá River (Amazon River) is a river of Pará state in north-central Brazil.
The river basin lies partly within the 4,245,819 hectares (10,491,650 acres) Grão-Pará Ecological Station, the largest fully protected tropical forest conservation unit on the planet.[1] Part of the river's basin is in the Maicuru Biological Reserve.[2] The river is also fed by streams in the 216,601 hectares (535,230 acres) Mulata National Forest, a sustainable use conservation unit created in 2001.[3]
