After passing by Geba town and Bambadinca, the river broadens into a wide estuary below Xime (where it is joined by the Corubal River), with a total width of about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) at Bissau.

[3] The estuary widens further as the river flows into the Atlantic, forming the Bissagos Islands archipelago.
