Panuco River

Encyclopedia : P : PA : PAN : Panuco River

The Pánuco River (Spanish: Río Pánuco) is a river in Mexico that flows from the River Moctezuma in the Valley of Mexico to the Gulf of Mexico, with its mouth at Ciudad Madero on the border between Tamaulipas and Veracruz.

At its source, it serves as a channel for water-drainage for the city of Mexico. From there, it becomes the state border between Hidalgo and Queretaro as it moves towards San Luis Potosi. It takes the name Río Pánuco upon reaching Veracruz.

It is approximately 500 km in length but only the last 15 km is navigable for larger ships.
