The Juruá River (Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx) 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.[1] This is surrounded by the Juruá-Purus moist forests ecoregion.[2] The Juruá rises among the Ucayali highlands, and is navigable and unobstructed for a distance of Template:Cvt above its junction with the Amazon. It has a total length of approximately Template:Cvt, and is one of the longest tributaries of the Amazon.
