PáNUCO RIVER

(Redirected from Río Pánuco)
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.
At its source, it serves as a channel for water-drainage for Mexico City. From there, it becomes the state border between Hidalgo and Querétaro as it moves towards San Luis Potosí. It takes the name ''Río Pánuco'' upon reaching Veracruz. It empties into the Gulf at Tampico and Ciudad Madero, on the border between the states of Tamaulipas and Veracruz.
It is approximately 500 km in length but only the last 15 km is navigable for larger ships.
