Map of Kutari River in Suriname
The river has its source in the Acarai Mountains that border Brazil.[2] Together with the Sipaliwini River the Kutari flows out in the Coeroeni River, where the village of Kwamalasamutu is within ten kilometers eastwards as the crow flies.[3] To the north, the Kutari and the Coeroenie successively form the rivers on the eastern border of the Tigri Area.[4] According to Guyana, this is the frontier of both countries; according to Suriname the border must be drawn at the New River, which forms the west frontier of the Tigri Area.[2]
