Metica

The Metica is an upper course of the Meta River system in the Colombian Llanos. It gathers waters descending from the eastern Andes, including the Guayuriba, and continues toward the Humea, below which the river is known as the Meta. The waterways cross a plain of savannas and seasonal wetlands before the Meta joins the Orinoco. Floods and falling waters change the appearance of the lowlands through the year.
