Origin and course


Jacaguas has its origin in the municipality of Villalba, Puerto Rico, in the boundary between barrio Vacas and barrio Hato Puerco Arriba, at an altitude of approximately 2,099 feet (640 m) above sea level. It crosses the municipalities of Villalba and Juana Díaz, forming the Guayabal Lake, before approaching the municipality of Ponce where it becomes the boundary between Ponce and Juana Díaz most of its trajectory. From there it empties into the Caribbean Sea.
