The Valenciano River (Spanish: Río Valenciano) is a river in eastern Puerto Rico which flows through the municipalities of Juncos and Las Piedras, Puerto Rico.[1] After Juncos, the river reaches a confluence on the left bank of the Río Gurabo, which is itself a tributary of the Río Grande de Loíza which flows north into the Atlantic Ocean. Since Hurricane Maria in September 2017, the data on river drainage has not been updated.[2][1]
