Hike to Upper North Oropuche River | 2015

The North Oropuche River situated on the eastern end of Valencia is one of the most spectacular water courses in the Northern Range. It sources originate from the limestone region of Aripo, and as it cascades down the mountains, it submerges to resurface at the oilbird cave in Cumaca. It flows south-easterly along the remote regions of the Cumaca Valley supplying water to WASA North Oropuche Treatment Plant for the people of Sangre Grande, Arima and surrounding districts.
A distinct feature is the rocks along its bed contain deposits of limestone or calcium carbonate (CACO3). This action makes them less slippery to walk on and filters the water to create crystal clear pools. The view of the course restricted by interlocking spurs with jut out on each side of the bend. The popular spot for a river lime is at the Valencia Bridge but the hidden beauty of the river with its fascinating pools and gorges located upstream.
