Barima River

The Barima River is a tributary of the Orinoco River, entering 6 kilometres (4 mi) from the Atlantic Ocean. It originates from the Imataka Mountains in Guyana,[1] flowing for approximately 340 kilometres (210 mi) before entering Venezuela about 80 kilometres (50 mi) from its mouth. Near the Duquari Creek, the Arawatta Rock, a distinct large granite rock, is located.[2]
