Río Pánuco
The Río Pánuco (Spanish: Río Pánuco ) is the longest river of the Mexico. It runs Moctezuma river in the Vallée of Mexico City to the Gulf of Mexico. The word Pánuco comes from the word Nahuatl pano which mean the step or the voice and from the suffix Co which indicate place. The first European to have discovered it, was Juan de Grijalva in 1518.
With its source, it is used as channel for the drainage of water of the town of Mexico City. It marks, starting from this place, the border between the States of Hidalgo and Querétaro, as it approaches San Luis Potosí. It takes the name of Río Pánuco by reaching Veracruz. It is thrown in the Gulf with Tampico and Ciudad Madero, at the border between the States of Tamaulipas and Veracruz. It is long approximately 510 km but only the last 15 kilometers are navigable for the more important boats.
