Caparo

The Caparo River descends from the Venezuelan Andean foothills into the western Llanos, joining waters that flow toward the Apure and Orinoco. Forests and savannas meet in this lowland region, where wet and dry seasons bring marked changes to the rivers. The Apure basin gathers many streams from the Cordillera de Mérida, carrying their waters across the broad plains toward the Orinoco.
