The Rio Branco (engl. White river) is the principal affluent of the Rio Negro (engl. Black river) from the north; it is enriched by many streams from the sierras which separate Venezuela and Guyana from Brazil. Its two upper main tributaries are the Urariquira and the Takutu. The latter almost links its sources with those of the Essequibo.
