nas fozes de vários rios


Explanation:
There is no problem with 'foz' in the plural (https://ciberduvidas.iscte-iul.pt/consultorio/perguntas/qual... The only -z ending word that is usually invariable (but does not have to be) is dez. (I would see no problem in using 'dezes' either: O professor deu vários dezes ao seus alunos. So: As fozes do Rio Acari e do Rio Pavuna estão na Baía de Guanabara.
