The Uribante River is an important river located in Venezuela. It is a branch, or "tributary," of the Apure River. This means the Uribante River flows into the Apure River, adding its water to it.

Part of the Orinoco Basin

The Uribante River is part of a much larger water system called the Orinoco basin. A river basin is like a giant bowl. All the rain and water that falls within this "bowl" eventually flows into the main river at the bottom. In this case, the Uribante River's water eventually joins the mighty Orinoco River.

The Uribante River helps to drain water from the southern part of the Táchira depression. A "depression" in geography is an area of land that is lower than the land around it. So, the river collects water from this lower area and carries it away.
