Río Caroní

The Río Caroní is the most important river in Venezuela after the great Orinoco. It has a massive flow that feeds the Guri Dam, which is the country's main source of hydroelectric energy. It is also the second longest river in the country, stretching 952 km from its source at the Kukenán tepui (a flat-topped mountain characteristic of the region) in the Gran Sabana area of Canaima National Park near the Brazilian border. Located in Bolívar state in southern Venezuela, it is the Orinoco's primary tributary.
