La Grita is a river that partly runs along the Colombian-Venezuelan border. A 1919 source noted that there was a very promising copper mine on the river, at Seporuco, but that it was at such high altitude that it could not be developed. [1] It was navigable from the port of Guamas by boats and canoes. [2]
The towns of La Grita and La Fria are on the river. [3] The towns of Boca de Grita, Venezuela, and Puerto Santander, Colombia, are at the mouth of La Grita River, where it flows into the Zulia River. [3] [4] [5]
In 1888 a railroad line was built between La Fria and El Brazo, and an international bridge was built in 1926. [3] In 1926 plans to extend the Tachira Railway from Oropé Station to the river were noted. [6]
Parque El Pinar overlooks the river. [7]
