Guatemala, Sayaxché, El Petén
The Río El Subín is a relatively small river in central part of Guatemala, it flows approximately 76 km in total. It’s part of the Usumacinta drainage, and connected to much the larger Río de la Pasion.
Guatemala is home to a lot of interesting species of Central American fish, and some of these live in Río el Subín as well. The river is interesting for several reasons: first of all, is it a slightly atypical Central American river, since there’s more aquatic vegetation than most other rivers in the area. Furthermore is it interesting to notice the abundance of life in the river, who seems to live there despite some major threats to the ecosystem, and despite the relatively small size of the river.
