“Middle Stone” on the “Orinoco River” / “Piedra del Medio” en el “Río Orinoco”.

In the narrowest part of the "Orinoco River" is this rock formation, known as "Piedra del Medio", located between "Ciudad Bolívar" and "Soledad".

During his expedition through the “Orinoco River”, Alejandro Humboldt called it “Orinocómetro” because it is used to measure the level of the river's flood.

According to indigenous legend, it is said that a 7-headed snake lives under this stone, which sucks the water from the river causing dangerous eddies.

En la parte más angosta del “Río Orinoco” se encuentra ésta formación rocosa, conocida como la “Piedra del Medio”, ubicada entre “Ciudad Bolívar” y “Soledad”.

Alejandro Humboldt durante su expedición por el “Río Orinoco”, la denominó “Orinocómetro” porque sirve para medir el nivel de la crecida del río.

Según la leyenda indígena relata que bajo de esa piedra habita una culebra de 7 cabezas, que succiona el agua del río originando peligrosos remolinos.
