Murri Jungle

The Murrí basin lies in the wet forests between Colombia’s Western Cordillera and the Atrato River. Streams descend from steep mountain slopes to join the Atrato, which carries their waters north to the Gulf of Urabá. Heavy rainfall sustains dense forest, while the rivers provide natural routes through the lowlands. Emberá communities have long inhabited the wider region, drawing food and materials from its forests and waterways.
