Caliente River (Puerto Rico)
River of Puerto Rico
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Caliente River (Spanish: Río Caliente) is a tributary of the Frío River that flows through the municipality of Barranquitas, Puerto Rico. These two rivers (whose names translate from Spanish into "hot" and "cold rivers", respectively) form part of the hydrological system that creates Las Bocas Canyon, one of the numerous gorges of the La Plata basin, of which the San Cristóbal Canyon is another example.[1]
