Xanil River, (Spanish: Río Xanil), Saquilukun or downstream Agua Azul River (Spanish: Río Agua Azul)[1] is an approximately 30 km long river in southeastern Mexico. The river rises in Chiapas highlands and flows from Chiapas to the state of Tabasco into Río Tulijá. Its name originates from the village with spa (balneario) of the same name Xanil, which lies at the highway from Palenque to Ocosingo.[2]
