Bracamoros (Quechua: pukamuru, Aguaruna: pakamuru,[1] "painted face"; also written Pacamuros)[2] is a region of numerous extinct tribal groups (which include a tribe of the same name) from the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Amazon rainforest, located in the watershed of the Zamora River (although it has also been identified as the region of the Chinchipe and Marañón Rivers).[2]
The area is now part of the former Ecuadorian province of Santiago Zamora Province (today Zamora-Chinchipe Province) and the Peruvian provinces of San Ignacio and Jaén, within the departments of Cajamarca and Amazonas.[2]
