Mabaruma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mabaruma is the administrative centre for Region One (Barima-Waini) of Guyana. It is located close to the Aruka River (the Venezuelan border) on a narrow plateau above the surrounding rainforest at 8°11′60″N, 59°46′60″W, altitude 13 metres.

It replaced Morawhanna as the regional capital after the former was deemed at risk from flooding. There is a government guest house in the town.

Mabaruma contains the region's first secondary school, North West Secondary School, established in 1965.
