Mojiguaçu River originates in Bom Repouso, placed in the Mantiqueira Mountains, in the state of Minas Gerais and flows to northwest, crossing many municipalities of the state of São Paulo draining into the Pardo River, being a tributary of this river, which is a tributary of the Grande River.
The name "Mojiguaçu" comes from the Tupi language, meaning "big river that snakes".
