Course
The uppermost reaches of the Chepo is alternately called the Bayano River after the construction of the Bayano Dam that resulted in the 350-square-kilometre (140 sq mi) lake reservoir.[1] The headwaters of the Chepo encompass watercourses running south from the San Blas Mountains near the Caribbean along with other rivers draining parts of the Majé and Darien Mountains.[2]
The Mamoni River is a major tributary farther down stream.
Measuring 206 kilometres (128 mi) in length, the Chepo-Bayano is the third longest river of Panama.[3]
Coquira, in the lower reaches, is the main riverine port.

gollark: Hey, did you try checking modpack zips from around the time it existed?
gollark: I assume someone probably happens to have a random copy in some backup or old folder somewhere, but who knows.
gollark: WASM's documentation is surprisingly nicely written and unhelpful simultaneously.
gollark: I could probably just make it accept base64-encoded code directly but that would be annoying.
