Tumatumari

Tumatumari lies on the Potaro River in the forested interior of Guyana, upstream from its junction with the Essequibo. The Potaro descends from the Pakaraima Mountains and passes several waterfalls on its way to the larger river. Among them is Tumatumari Falls, whose rapids interrupt the river route through the forest. The Potaro and Essequibo together connect this inland country to the Atlantic drainage of the Guianas.
