Guajará-Mirim, city and river port, western Rondônia estado (state), western Brazil. It lies along the Mamoré River. Primarily a transportation centre of regional importance, Guajará-Mirim has handled traffic in such products as rubber, lumber, and babassu palm oil. The city has a small port for shallow-draft vessels, has one airport, and once served as the southern terminus of the now-defunct Estrada de Ferro Madeira-Mamoré, a railroad completed in 1912 to carry products out of Bolivia and Mato Grosso state. The area’s economy improved in 1993 with the establishment of the Guajará-Mirim free trade zone, which increased trade with Bolivia. Pop. (2010) 41,646.
