Río Catuche, River in Caracas, Venezuela
The Catuche River flows through Caracas for 7.4 kilometers, starting at an altitude of 1807 meters in the coastal mountain range near Las Culebrillas point.
The Catuche River served as the primary water source for Caracas residents from the city's establishment until the final quarter of the nineteenth century.
The name Catuche originates from the Toromayma indigenous language, referring to the soursop tree that grew along the river banks.
Since 1994, multiple community initiatives focus on cleaning and rehabilitating the Catuche River water system within the urban environment of Caracas.
The Carlos III Bridge, constructed in 1772 by Juan Domingo del Sacramento Infante, spans across the Catuche River as an architectural monument.
