The city is located in one of the largest valleys in Puerto Rico, the ''Valle de Caguas'' or '''[[Caguas Valley]]''' (also known as ''Valle del Turabo'' or the [[Turabo River|Turabo]] Valley).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.elnuevodia.com/deportes/beisbol/nota/orgulloyalegriaenelvalledelturabo-2282411/|title=Orgullo y alegría en el Valle del Turabo|date=19 January 2017|website=Elnuevodia.com|access-date=30 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181228173419/https://www.elnuevodia.com/deportes/beisbol/nota/orgulloyalegriaenelvalledelturabo-2282411/|archive-date=28 December 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> Being located in a valley, Caguas has the distinction of being relatively flat except near the borders with all the mentioned municipalities except Gurabo.<ref name="PR_Ency">{{cite web|url=https://enciclopediapr.org/en/encyclopedia/caguas-municipality/|title=Caguas Municipality|publisher=Fundación Puertorriqueña de las Humanidades (FPH)|access-date=2019-03-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190604042008/https://enciclopediapr.org/en/encyclopedia/caguas-municipality/|archive-date=2019-06-04|url-status=live}}</ref> The valley is bordered by the [[Altos de La Mesa]] and [[Altos de San Luis|San Luis]] ranges in the north, the [[Sierra de Luquillo]] on the northeast, the [[San Lorenzo batholith]] to the east, the [[Sierra de Cayey]] on the south and the main range of the [[Cordillera Central (Puerto Rico)|Cordillera Central]] to the west.

This valley is fed mainly by the [[Río Grande de Loíza|Grande de Loíza River]], one of Puerto Rico's major rivers that feed into the [[Atlantic Ocean]], and numerous tributaries such as the [[Cagüitas River|Cagüitas]], along which the contemporary settlement of [[Caguas barrio-pueblo|Caguas]] was built. The city's nickname ''Valle del Turabo'' comes from the [[Turabo River]], which is another tributary that flows from the south. The [[Gurabo River]], another major tributary, feeds into the [[Río Grande de Loíza|Grande de Loíza]] at a region where the valley narrows into a [[rift valley]] that runs from west to east and ends in [[Humacao, Puerto Rico|Humacao]] in the southeastern coast of the island.

As with other parts of Puerto Rico, the region of Caguas is susceptible to earthquakes. The municipality is located along the [[Great Northern Puerto Rico fault zone]] (GNPRfz) and in recent times the region experienced moderate size earthquakes in 1990<ref>{{Cite web|title=M 4.7 - 1 km W of Juncos, Puerto Rico|url=https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usp0004f8n/executive|url-status=live|access-date=2021-09-06|website=earthquake.usgs.gov|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210906074028/https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usp0004f8n/executive |archive-date=September 6, 2021 }}</ref> and [[2010 Aguas Buenas earthquake|2010]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=M 5.1 - 3 km W of Aguas Buenas, Puerto Rico |url=https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usp000hrud/executive |access-date=2021-09-06 |website=earthquake.usgs.gov}}</ref>
