The Bodoquero River (Spanish: El río Bodoquero) is one of the most important rivers in the Colombian municipality of Florencia, Colombia in the department of Caquetá. It serves as a natural boundary between the municipalities of Florencia and Morelia and is part of the Amazon River basin.
Geography
[edit]The Bodoquero River rises in the Eastern Cordillera mountain range (also known as the "Colombian Andes") southwest of the municipal seat of Florencia. Its waters meander through the territory in a north–south-easterly direction, finally flowing into the Orteguaza River, near the municipality of Milan.[1] Rivers in this region are often accompanied by the presence of shifting Oxbow lakes.[2]
Hydrology
[edit]River bank material was laid down in the Quaternary period, comprising mainly alluvial deposits and alluvial plains[3]
