Cachamay

Cachamay lies on the lower Caroní River near its meeting with the Orinoco. Here the dark waters of the Caroní pass through rocky channels and cascades before joining the larger river. Forested islands divide the current around the falls. The confluence links the rivers descending from the Guiana highlands with the Orinoco, whose broad course continues east towards its Atlantic delta.

The later city of Ciudad Guayana lies here.
