Rito

I live in Viana, Espírito Santo.

Many small streams and ritos flow down the slopes feeding the Rio Puerco, Chama and Jemez Rivers.

[…] to form tiny rills that descended and gathered into larger rititos that rollicked and frollicked as they tumbled down into the ritos that carried the spring run-offs and summer rains across alpine meadows […]

On this day all the waters of the earth are blessed, the seas, the rivers and the ritos, the clear forest streams and all the muddy acequias meandering through the fields.
