File talk:Cuenca del Orinoco.png

This is an outdated map of the basin. The southern-most part of the basin is misrepresented, it shows the Mavaca river as running between the mountain ranges of Unturan and Tapirapico, running westwards and then norwards towards the Orinoco. In reality, the Mavaca starts in the northern slopes of the Unturan Range, and flows only norwards towards the orinoco. The major river running among the Unturan and Tapirapeco in a westernly direction is the Matapire (Siapa), which carries on towards the Casiquiare, thus draining towards the Black River and eventually the Amazon.


 * Like many maps of Venezuelan origin, it does not show the internationally recognised boundaries of the republic. --Hors-la-loi 20:52, 20 August 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hors-la-loi (talk • contribs)
