Salamá River

The Salamá River is a river in Guatemala. The river is fed by a number of streams running down the slopes of the Sierra de las Minas and Sierra de Chuacús and flows in a north-westerly direction through the town of Salamá until it joins the Chixoy River.[1][2]

Not to be confused with the Samalá River in western Guatemala, originating in the Sierra Madre.
