São Lourenço River

São Lourenço River

Portuguese  Rio São Lourenço,  

      northeastern tributary of the Paraguay River. The São Lourenço rises near Poxoreu, in southeastern Mato Grosso estado (“state”), Brazil, and flows approximately 300 miles (480 km) southwest through the Paraguay floodplain to join the Paraguay River 80 miles (130 km) north of Corumbá. It receives the Cuiabá River, which rises near Rosário Oeste, 300 miles northeast of the confluence. The name Cuiabá is sometimes given to the combined (lower) course of the two rivers. The São Lourenço is navigable for small craft and is a trade and travel route.
