Koriabo is a community in the Barima-Waini region of Guyana, standing at an altitude of 36 metres. Barima and Koriba form an Amerindian community[2] which is mainly inhabited by Warao people with a minority of Lokono and Kalina people.[3]
Dutch plantations were established in the area in the 1760s.[4] Koriabo was established as a mission in 1946.[3] The economy is based on subsistence farming.[3] Gold mining in the area is threatening the water supply.[5]
