Xanil River, (Spanish: Río Xanil), possibly also Río Tulijá, Saquilukun or Yaxhá is an approximately 200 km long river in southeastern Mexico. The river rises in Chiapas highlands and flows from Chiapas to the state of Tabasco into Rio Grijalva.
The Xanil feeds the waterfalls of Cataratas de Agua Azul, though other sources state that the waterfalls are fed by Río Tulijá, possibly the name of the river in this region.[1]
