The Caroaebe River (sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Caroebe River which is further south) is a river of Roraima state in northern Brazil, near the equator.
The headwaters are at approximately 0.9167°N -104°W between the towns of Caroebe and São João da Baliza, on the northern side of the connecting roadway BR-210. The river flows westward to approximately 1.1667°N -65°W where it merges with the larger Anauá River, just prior to the Majada waterfall which is to the north of São Luiz.[1]
Along the river, biologists have studied species of black flies (Simulium guianense and Simulium litobranchium, see Simulium) which carry a parasite that causes river-blindness.[2]
