It is one of only two rivers in Iona National Park, which also includes moving sand dunes of the Namib Desert. The Curoca forms part of the northern border of the park and also runs through the and the Regional Natural Park of Namibe (Parque Natural Regional do Namibe). Its mouth is at the Atlantic Ocean, north of the community of Tômbwa. The lagoons support plants including bamboo and thorn trees and animals such as springbok and oryx. Lagoa dos Arcos oasis is noted as a tourist destination. The seasonal flooding of the river supports the limited agriculture and grazing conducted in the area.

  • O rio Curoca é um curso de água de Angola que faz parte faz parte da Vertente Atlântica. Neste rio existe uma ponte de ligação entre o município do Tômbua e o Deserto do Namibe. Assim como o rio Bero, mesmo intermitente seu leito seco é importantíssimo para produção agrícola pós-inundações, graças à fertilidade depositada pelos sedimentos trazidos das cabeceiras. (pt)

Den varmaste månaden är februari, då medeltemperaturen är 28 °C, och den kallaste är juli, med 20 °C. Genomsnittlig årsnederbörd är 73 millimeter.

  • 库罗卡河(葡萄牙語:Rio Curoca)是安哥拉南部纳米贝省的一条间歇河,旱季时会形成残留潟湖。其是流经伊奥纳国家公园的两条河流之一。库罗卡河组成伊奥那国家公园北部边界的一部分,也经过纳米布地方自然公园 (Parque Natural Regional do Namibe)的Lagoa dos Arcos绿洲。河流在通布阿以北流入大西洋。潟湖滋养了竹子、荆棘等植物和跳羚、大羚羊等动物在此生长。Lagoa dos Arcos绿洲则是一个旅游景点。季节性洪水使该地能维持少量的农牧业。 居住在库罗卡河附近的萨恩人原操一种叫的语言,但已经灭绝,现在该族人改说班图语族语言。 (zh)
