The Silala River or Silala Spring is a river which rises in Bolivia and flows into Chile. A canal, constructed under a Bolivian concession, carries the water into Chile.

The division of the flow from this river has been a matter of controversy between the two nations, Chile claiming that the present route makes it an international river.[1][2][3][4]
