Paraná River
Encyclopedia : P : PA : PAR : Paraná River
- This article refers to the river in Goiás, central Brazil: for the longer river of southern Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, see Paraná River. The difference between the two is in the accent on the final syllable.
The Paranã River is located in
Goiás state,
Brazil. It divides two regions - the Northeast and north-central Goiás. It is formed by tributaries that descend the Serra Geral, the mountains that divide eastern Goiás and Bahia. One of the most important tributaries is the Crixás, which has its source near
Formosa. Farther to the north the Paranã becomes the main tributary of the
Tocantins River on the right bank. Today it is crossed by a long concrete bridge between the municipalities of
Iaciara and
Nova Roma. It forms the valley which makes up a vast region called the
Vão do Paranã Microregion
