Course

The river rises in the west of the state of Acre and runs in a northeast direction. After being crossed by the BR-364 highway it forms the eastern boundary of the 216,062 hectares (533,900 acres) Rio Gregório State Forest, a sustainable use conservation unit created in 2004.[1] It then crosses into Amazonas state, where it joins the Tarauacá.
