The Chocón Machacas River is a river in eastern Guatemala. The sources of the 53-kilometre (33 mi) long river are on the eastern slopes of the Sierra de Santa Cruz at 15.793835°N 89.133890°W / 15.793835; -89.133890. From there it flows in a generally west-south-west direction into the Golfete Dulce. The Chocón Machacas river and Golfete Dulce complex form one of Guatemala's few remaining habitats for the endangered Caribbean manatee (Trichechus manatus).
