The Salinas is a river in Guatemala. The river is called Chixoy River from its sources (located at 15.270358°N 91.413717°W (Sources of the Río Negro)) in the highlands of Huehuetenango and El Quiché until it reaches the Chixoy hydroelectric dam (located at 15.281536°N 90.490952°W (Chixoy Hidroelectric Dam)), where the Río Salama and Rio Carchela converge with the Río Negro. After the Chixoy dam, the river is called Río Chixoy and flows northwards through Alta Verapaz until it reaches the border with Mexico.
