The River Mapocho () ( Mapudungun: ''Mapu chuco'', "water that penetrates the land") is a river in Chile. It flows from its source in the Andes mountains onto the west and divides Chile's capital Santiago in two. Course The Mapocho begins at the confluence of the San Francisco River and Molina River in the Andes.

From here, the river flows in a generally southwesterly direction ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
