[2][3] There are 11 countries in the Americas that do not have rivers: Anguilla,[4] Aruba, Bermuda,[5] Bonaire, Cayman Islands,[6] Curaçao, Saba, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, Sint Eustatius, and Sint Maarten.

The Río Coco, locally known as the Wanks, runs along the border with Honduras and is the longest river flowing totally within Central America.

[7][8] Some of the significant rivers and their lengths in Central America include: Water from rivers in the Northern Americas flows toward either the Arctic Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, the land-locked Great Basin in the western United States or the interior basin in Mexico.

The Rio Conchos (350 mi (560 km)) is the longest river in Mexico.
