Sarare

The Sarare flows out of the eastern Andes toward the western Llanos. Near Guasdualito it joins the Uribante, forming the Apure River, which crosses the plains to the Orinoco. The river system links mountain valleys with a broad lowland of savanna and seasonal wetlands. Rainfall in the mountains and plains changes the volume of water through the year, bringing floods to the flat country downstream.
