Kaituma River
The 883rd longest river in the world
The Kaituma River is a river of Guyana in the Barima-Waini region. The mouth is at the upper Barima River, and the area is made up of mostly mangrove swamps. The Kaituma and Barima Rivers were dredged to make enough room for ships to collect ore from the mines in the vicinity of Port Kaituma. It was a hiding place for escapees of the People's Temple massacre due to its proximity to the Jonestown settlement.
Flows through: Guyana.
