Apure River

The Apure River is a major waterway in Venezuela, stretching approximately 400 miles through the western part of the country. It flows through lush plains called the Apure Plain and ultimately joins the Orinoco River, one of South America's longest rivers. The Apure River supports local ecosystems, agriculture, and communities by providing water for irrigation, fishing, and transportation. Its basin is characterized by swamps, savannas, and diverse wildlife, making it an important ecological and economic resource for the region.
