Chepo River


The Chepo River is a river of Panama in the Chepo District of Panama Province. It drains into the Pacific Ocean.

Course

The uppermost reaches of the Chepo is alternately called the Bayano River after the construction of the Bayano Dam that resulted in the lake reservoir. The headwaters of the Chepo encompass watercourses running south from the San Blas Mountains near the Caribbean along with other rivers draining parts of the Majé and Darien Mountains.
The Mamoni River is a major tributary farther down stream.
Measuring in length, the Chepo-Bayano is the third longest river of Panama.
Coquira, in the lower reaches, is the main riverine port.
