Banica River

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Banica River is a river on the island of Negros in the Philippines, in the municipality of Valencia and Dumaguete City. It flows south of the Okoy River in Negros Oriental, but is not a tributary of it. This is a common misunderstanding, but it can be easily verified on Google Maps that the two rivers (Banica and Okoy) are completely separate – the Banica flows wholly south of the Okoy. The source of the Banica River lies in the mountains above Valencia, and one of its tributaries flows through the famous Casaroro Falls. The river traverses the municipality of Valencia and the city of Dumaguete where it empties into the Bohol Sea.

Flows through: Philippines.
