The Camuy River ( Spanish: Río Camuy; Spanish pronunciation: [kaˈmuj]) is a river in Puerto Rico. It is the third largest underground river in the world and [2] helped shape the cave system known as the Rio Camuy Caves. [3] [4] [5]
The river and water flow systems of Río Camuy have been studied by the US Geological Service in 1995. [6]
