Course

The Alegre River flows northeast across the Encontro das Águas State Park parallel to the Caçanje River, forms part of the eastern border of the park, then continues east to join the Caçanje just before that river enters the Cuiabá.[1][2] The region, rich in watercourses, supports diverse pantanal vegetation.[3]
