Tuira River

The Tuira River is one of the longest rivers in eastern Panama's Darién Province. It empties into the Bay of San Miguel in La Palma, the province's capital. It is Panama's greatest river, and one of its tributaries, the Chucunaque River, is the country's longest river. Modern usage includes rivers that are multi-channeled, intermittent, or ephemeral in flow and channels that are practically bankless.

Tuira River, Spanish Ro Tuira, or Tuyra, is a 106-mile-long (170-kilometer) stream in eastern Panama. It begins in the Darién highlands (Serrana del Darién) and runs south-southeast, then north and west via El Real de Santa Mara, where the Chucunaque River joins it, and finally northwest to La Palma on the Gulf of San Miguel (Pacific Ocean). Above its mouth, it is navigable for about 75 miles (120 kilometers). The Chocó Indians live in a tropical rain forest that receives more than 80 inches (2,000 mm) of annual rainfall and has no discernible dry season. Come here and have a wonderful experience!
