Geography

The river is 12.5 kilometres (7.8 mi) long, draining 583 square kilometres (225 sq mi) and dropping 200 metres (660 ft) in elevation between source and mouth.[2] The river course cuts through heavily built-up areas of Panama City, subjecting it to both industrial and residential pollution. The level of water contamination was rated as "critical", making it unfit for consumption or recreation.[3]

The river empties into the Panama Bay at the juncture of the Marbella and Punta Paitilla neighborhoods.
