Not to be confused with San Carlos Water


The San Carlos River is one of the larger rivers on East Falkland, in the Falkland Islands. It flows westwards, into San Carlos Water, near Port San Carlos. It rises in the Wickham Heights, with tributaries running off Jack's Mountain.

The river is named for San Carlos Water, which is itself named after a Spanish ship which explored these waters in the eighteenth century.
