Murri

The Murrí is a tributary of the Atrato, running through the humid forests of northwestern Colombia. The Atrato flows north to the Gulf of Urabá, receiving many rivers descending from the Western Cordillera. Indigenous communities have long inhabited this river country, using waterways to travel through dense forest. In the colonial period gold mining and settlement spread along parts of the basin, while the river remained the principal route through the lowlands.
