Culebrinas River


imageCulebrinas River

The Culebrinas River (Spanish: Río Culebrinas; pron. koo-le-BREE-nahs), is a river in northwest Puerto Rico. It originates in southwestern Lares and flows for 25 miles (40 km) till it empties into the Mona Passage south of downtown Aguadilla.

Christopher Columbus is said to have anchored and come ashore near the mouth of the Culebrinas River in 1493. A stone cross monument was erected to mark the site, but it was destroyed by the 1918 Puerto Rico earthquake.

In 2007, Tropical Storm Olga caused flooding on the river, forcing an evacuation.
