English translation for oro river and usage examples from the best sources

EVERY wooden shack in La Pista, a half-deserted hamlet of overgrown, dirt streets on the Colombian bank of the Oro river, contains a grim story.

Roads were cut off and there was no electricity, hampering relief efforts in the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan, which are intersected by rivers, as well as surrounding villages.

There is a general consensus that many of Colombia's water basins are severely polluted, with the Bogotá, Cali, Cauca, Medellín, de Oro, Lebrija, Pasto, Pamplonita, Combeima, and Otún rivers are in critical condition (Blackman et al. 2006).

The Torre del Oro, "tower of gold," on the east side of the river was built by the Moors in 1220 and formed part of an elaborate defense system.

The ships have shaded decks and leave from the Torre del Oro every half hour, year round, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Along the same river bank, Pedalquivir (look for the snack bar on the water) rents pedal boats for 12 euros an hour from 9 a.m. to nightfall.
