The Burro-Burro River is a river of Guyana.

It flows directly through the Iwokrama Forest,[1] and is an important water source for the Macushi[2] as well as used for ecotourism.[3][4] It is protected for limited use of subsistence fishing, and the river is monitored for illegal fishing and hunting.[5] It is categorized as a black-water river, flanked by lowland tropical forest.[2]

The river is the site of archaic petroglyphs, man-made depressions and chipping stations for manufacturing stone tools.[6]
