Ciudad Bolivar
Ciudad Bolivar, on the Orinoco river, is a fast growing city of the gran sabana and Orinoco plains. Founded in 1764, at the narrowest point of the Orinoco, it was originally a river town called Angosturas, then gained prominence during the time of Simon Bolivar and is now a commercial center for Guyanas state and the jumping off point for Angel Falls and Canaima National Park.
