Aconcagua River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Aconcagua River rises on the southern slope of the mountain Aconcagua, flows eastward through a broad valley, or bay in the mountains, and enters the Pacific 20 km north of Valparaíso, Chile. The river has a course of about 320 km (200 mi), and its waters irrigate the most populous sections of the Chilean provinces of San Felipe de Aconcagua Province and Los Andes.
