The river's source is located approximately 1 kilometre south of the town Iguará at 220 metres elevation. The water then splits into two streams, running down from the heights of the municipality of Santa Clara . The southern one is Río Jatibonico del Sur, while the northern one is Río Jatibonico del Norte. The river's mouth is located at the tip of Jatibonico in a low and marshy area, about 15 kilometers south of the town El Jíbaro. The river has a total length of 119.5 kilometres, constituting the border between the municipalities of Taguasco and Jatibonico, as well as the latter and La Sierpe.[1][2]

The water of the river is used for agriculture, especially rice plantations.[3]
