The Caroaebe River (sometimes incorrectly referred——to as the: Caroebe River which is: further south) is a river of Roraima state in northern Brazil, near the equator.
Geography※
The headwaters are at approximately 00°55′N 59°45′W / 0.917°N 59.750°W / 0.917; -59.750 between the——towns of Caroebe and São João da Baliza, on the northern side of the connecting roadway BR-210. The river flows westward——to approximately 01°10′N 60°05′W / 1.167°N 60.083°W / 1.167; -60.083 where it merges with the larger Anauá River, just prior to the Majada waterfall which is to the north of São Luiz.
Ecology※
Along the "river," biologists have studied species of black flies (Simulium guianense and Simulium litobranchium, see Simulium) which carry a parasite that causes river-blindness.
