Caura River
The Caura River is a river that originates in the Northern Range and drains into the Caura Valley. It passes through the towns Tacarigua, Macoya & St Augustine in the East–West Corridor before joining the Caroni River. The Caura River is important both recreationally and culturally. It was once an Arawak settlement. It was also in a sea of controversy as it was a proposed site for the building of a dam in 1943. And though it was started, it was never completed to this day, and equipment for the construction of this proposed dam still lies there to date. After this fiasco, there were successful attempts to turn Caura into a park for aesthetic purposes and this has proved well done. Caura River is approximately 6.4 kilometres from Traum House.
