Río Chama

A major river in the Venezuelan Andes, running over 200 km through Merida state. It starts in the Sierra Nevada high-altitude moorlands (paramo) at about 4,000 meters above sea level and empties into Lake Maracaibo. The river follows the Bocono fault line where the Sierra Nevada and Sierra La Culata tectonic plates meet. It flows past several key settlements, including Mucuchies, Tabay, Merida city, and El Vigia.

Chamo, but how so? / That chamo is a hard worker. / Look chamo, what is up? / My chamo is growing up fast. / Daniela's son is still too chamo to go to the club.
