The Lureco River, previously also called the Rarico River, is a river in Mozambique. It is one of the primary tributaries of the Lugenda River, itself a tributary of the Ruvuma River.
During the Portuguese colonial era, a European expedition — operating on behalf of the Nyassa Company — discovered gold in the Rarico's sandy riverbed.[1][2]
