List of rivers of Puerto Rico

List of rivers in Puerto Rico (U.S. Commonwealth), sorted by drainage basin and then alphabetically.

[1] Most of Puerto Rico's rivers originate in the Cordillera Central.

Due to the generally abundant rain and the flow of its water currents, the most important rivers of Puerto Rico slide down the north slope.

Taíno and native people normally built their communities near the rivers.

During the Spanish colonization era, the same was true with many pueblos being founded near rivers.
