The impressive RIO ORINOCO born in Chal DELGADO CERRO, as already mentioned, with a height of 1,047 m in the Parima SERRANÍA near the SERRANÍA OF URUCUSIRO in Amazonas state in Venezuela , near the border with Brazil.
The first rivers that feed the Orinoco are RIO EDO. MORE and Ugueto RIO, the first settlements, indigenous clear in the area are YAISIBUITERI , MOCAJUROMOTERI and POREPOYTERI . Hill whence the Orinoco (Delgado Chalbaud) is approximately in the meridian

Its widest point is 11 kms. between Ciudad Guayana and Canyon, crossing the island Fajardo (although others disagree with this statement) and narrower, in Punta Chacon in the southern pillar ANGOSTURA BRIDGE , but there is another version that says that the most Strait is in the field of Castillito .
