For much of its length, it forms the border between San Luis Potosí and Guanajuato. It carves a canyon through the Sierra Madre Oriental, where it is joined by the Rio Verde. The Gallinas River merges into it via the 105-meter Tamul Waterfall, downstream of which its name changes to the Tampaón River.
