Caroní River: It is the second most important river in Venezuela, being the second with the highest flow and some of the longest, reaching 952 km from Tepuy Kukenán, where it was born with the name of Kukenán river, until its confluence with the Orinoco river, to whose basin it belongs. The name of Caroní begins to be used from the confluence of the river Kukenán and the river Yuruaní.

According to Alejo Carpentier, «the Orinoco is a materialization of time in the three Augustinian categories, past time (the time of memory), present time (time of intuition) and future time (time of waiting)» .

They have a legend of love ... that says that the Orinoco (man) and Caroní (woman), they saw love in front. They were never guilty of being born in different places, but their heart always beat with emotion, when the wind caressed their souls. The gods did not like that love very much, but they defied all obstacles and agreed to meet at a distance from the mountain and go together to the blue sea, that was their dream and that was how it was fulfilled.
