Main Rivers in Central America

The most important rivers are those that stand out for their length, their flow or the
resources that can be used from them. In Central America we find numerous rivers
that flow into the different surrounding seas and oceans. In this article, we show you
the main ones ordered from least to longest and we give you the name, location and
length of each of them. What is the longest river in Central America?

10. Blue River

The Azul River originates in Guatemala and reaches Mexico, flowing into the Hondo
River. It also acts as a natural border, since it marks the border between Mexico and
Belize. It has a length of 87 kilometers.

9. Tempisque River
The Tempisque River is the longest in Costa Rica, measuring 144 km. It empties into
the Pacific Ocean, specifically the Gulf of Nicoya, and has ten tributaries.

8. Aguán River
The Aguán river rises in Honduras and has a length of 240 km. The surrounding
lands are remarkably fertile, which has facilitated the development of agriculture and
the sowing of African palm, from which palm oil is extracted.

7. Ulúa River
The 385 km Ulúa River is located in Honduras and ends in the Caribbean Sea. It is
quite mighty, so it sometimes causes dangerous floods that affect nearby towns.

6. Lempa River
The Lempa River is 422 km long and passes through Guatemala, Honduras and El
Salvador. It is an important source of energy, which is why it has been used to build
dams and supply hydroelectric plants. It empties into the Pacific Ocean.

5. Rio Grande de Matagalpa

The Rio Grande de Matagalpa originates in Nicaragua and flows into the Caribbean
Sea. It works as a boundary between various departments of the country such as
Boaco and Matagalpa. It has an extension of 465 km.

4. Motagua River
The Motagua River runs between Guatemala and Honduras and empties into the
Caribbean Sea. It measures 486 km, which makes it the longest river in Guatemala.
On one of its shores we find Quiriguá, an outstanding Mayan archaeological site.

3. Patuca River
The Patuca River is the longest in Honduras, having a length of 500 km. It empties
into the Caribbean Sea and stands out for being one of the largest in Central
America.

2. Rio Coco
The Coco River, with 680 km in length, is the longest of those that pass exclusively
through Central American countries. It is born in Honduras and ends at Cape Gracias
a Dios, in Nicaragua. It belongs to the hydrographic basin of the Caribbean Sea. It
is one of the border rivers of Central America, since it marks the border between
Honduras and Nicaragua. It is also known as Segovia river.

1. Usumacinta River
The name of this river means monkey place and comes from Nahuatl, an indigenous
language of Mexico. It is born in Guatemala and empties into the Gulf of Mexico, in
the Atlantic Ocean. It is the largest in Central America and Mexico, as well as the
longest in Central America, measuring 1.123 km.
Best Lakes in Central America
Because of its tropical climate, rugged terrain, and large forests, Central
America is rich with waterways, lakes, and lagoons. Places with water
afford some of the most amazing views in nature. You can just revel in the
view and take lots of photos or get in on the action and go kayaking,
snorkeling, swimming, fishing, or boating. Check out this list for the best
lakes to visit in Central America.

1. Five Blues Lake National Park (Belize)

Five Blues Lake National Park is centered on the gorgeous and intensely
blue lake of its name. The name refers to different colors of blue in the
water that are a result of light filtered through the rain forest. Aside from
offering regular lake activities like swimming and boat tours, you can also
explore its surroundings, which include limestone hills and caves. The
park is also home to more than 200 bird species and about 20 mammal
species. What you are less likely to see is a bunch of other humans; this
park is relatively new and still under the radar, relatively speaking.

Atitlan Lake (Guatemala)

Atitlan Lake, known as the most beautiful lake in Guatemala, is a large
body of water that formed centuries ago when a huge volcano collapsed. It
is now surrounded by three newer but dormant volcanoes and 12 villages.
Popular activities here include boat rides, jet skiing, diving, and
swimming. Its location also offers lots of things to do, such as volcano
climbing, partying in Panajachel, and visiting Mayan museums that are
filled with artifacts found in its surroundings and even underwater.

Peten Itza Lake (Guatemala)

You'll find Peten Itza Lake in the northern region of the country in the
Peten Department. This is the second largest lake in Guatemala, and
travelers visit the region to explore archaeological sites such as Tikal and
El Mirador; there are at least 27 sites around the lake. The main city of the
department is on a small island on the southern end of the lake, and its
hotels offer amazing views of the lake, especially at sunset. Peten Itza is
the principal water source or home to about 100 indigenous species that
include crocodiles, jaguars, pumas, deer, parrots, toucans, and macaws.
Izabal Lake (Guatemala)
Izabal Lake is the largest lake in Guatemala, and the largest river of the
country drains into it. The main attraction here is taking a boat tour
around the lake and into Rio Dulce, which goes from the lake to the
Caribbean. The place is known for its mangroves and rich wildlife and is
home to several species, including the manatee, jaguar, spider monkey,
and howler monkey, along with many birds.

The well-preserved colonial Castillo de San Felipe de Lara can be reached

by boat from the lake. Rio Dulce was one one of the main ports of Central
America during the colonial period, and the fort was built to guard this
lake against pirate attacks. There are also sunken ships nearby.

Lake Arenal (Costa Rica)

Lake Arenal is Costa Rica's largest lake, which is man-made. It is right at
the foot of the active Arenal volcano. Here you can fish for rainbow bass
(guapote) and find world-class windsurfing; the best time for this is
March. You can also go on canopy tours and climb the volcano for
amazing views and great opportunities for wildlife viewing.

Cano Negro (Costa Rica)

Cano Negro is a shallow lake that is only around during the rainy months.
In December when the rain stops, it starts shrinking, and by February it is
gone. You will find it in the northern region of Costa Rica. It's an amazing
place to visit for bird watchers during the second half of the year when
flocks of ducks, herons, and other waterfowl gather there. It is so
important for local and global wildlife that it has been designated a
wetland of international importance under the RAMSAR convention. The
best way to get to Cano Negro is on a boat on the Frio River.

Yojoa Lake (Honduras)

Yojoa is the largest lake in Honduras. It formed within a depression that
resulted from the formation of surrounding volcanoes, and the whole area
is a volcanic field with craters. You can drive along one of its sides on a
trip from Tegucigalpa to San Pedro Sula. The lake is a rest area where you
can find restaurants offering fresh fish and gorgeous views of the water
and the nearby mountains. Travelers who want to spend more time here
can go fishing, go searching for one of the 400 bird species that live in the
area, or check out the local plantations.

Lagoon of Guaimoreto (Honduras)

The Lagoon of Guaimoreto in Honduras is a small reservoir of fresh
water that shelters bio-diverse flora and fauna of the area that is
separated from the Caribbean Sea by a thin strip of land. Visitors can take
a boat ride through its mangroves and wetlands while searching for local
flora and fauna. You can also use a canoe or a kayak to explore the
waterways or join the locals for a fishing adventure using traditional
methods.

Coatepeque Lake (El Salvador)

Coatepeque Lake called a crater lake, formed in a volcanic caldera. You'll
find naturally heated hot springs and island in it with a Mayan site on it.
You can take boat rides or go jet skiing, swimming, or kayaking on the
lake. Restaurants offering stuffed tortillas and seafood are nearby if you
need to refuel.

Lake Ilopango (El Salvador)

Lake Ilopango is also a crater lake; it's part of a volcanic complex and the
second largest one in the country. Among the attributes that make it
unique are its islands, filled with birds of different species, that can be
reached on a boat tour. There are also what locals call sunken mountains.
These are bumps of land that never reached the surface during the
eruptions, and they are quite popular among divers.

Lake Guija (El Salvador)

Lake Guija straddles Guatemala and El Salvador, and it also has a volcanic
origin and is surrounded by three volcanoes. The El Salvadoran side has
several small islands where archaeologists have found pre-
Columbian artifacts and ceramics. This site was added to the UNESCO
World Heritage Tentative List in September 1992. Lake Guija is relatively
uncrowded, but hotels and restaurants are being built around it.
Lake Nicaragua (Nicaragua)
Lake Nicaragua, also known as Lago de Nicaragua, is the largest lake in
Central America. The lake's history includes Caribbean pirates who used it
to assault the lakeside city of Granada. It is also home to Ometepe Island,
which includes two volcanoes. Near Granada, you also find a group of
islets, where many different bird species live. Taking a boat tour to this
area is a fun option.

Gatun Lake (Panama)

Gatun Lake is a large, man-made lake that was a result of the construction
of the Panama Canal and the creation of the Gatun Dam. When the dam
was built in 1913, this was the largest man-made lake in the world. The
best way to explore it is by taking cruises of the Panama Canal. You can
also take boat tours that get you closer to the wildlife and let you see parts
of the lake that you can't view on a larger cruise.

Bayano Lake (Panama)

Bayano Lake, in eastern Panama, is the second largest in the country. It is
also man-made and was created in 1976 along with the construction of a
dam. What makes it unique is that on its shores you can find a complex of
three caves. During the rainy season, visitors can take boat tours deep into
the caves. Don't be surprised if you run into a few of the bats that call the
caves home on your boat tour. Bird watching, kayaking, and fishing are
typical activities in the area.
