The Amacuzac River runs through the valley of Almoloya de Alquisiras, after 75 km it reaches the Sierra de Cacahuamilpa, then it disappears at the foot of Jumil Hill and turns into an underground river.When it emerges the current is known as the Amacuzac River, in the territory of the state of Morelos. The Cuautla River empties into the Amacuzac River and crosses the town of Amacuzac. It receives the flow of the Chiquito River which collects the waters of Tembembe and Chalma.
