Almendares River
The Almendares River is a river that runs for 47 km in the western part of Cuba. It originates from the east of Tapaste and flows north-west into the Straits of Florida. The river acts as a water supply for Havana.
The final stretch divides the municipalities of Plaza [de la Revolución] and Playa. Part of the river valley forms the Almendares Park or Metropolitan Park of Havana, a few kilometers upstream from the ocean.
