Embalse Conchi is an artificial reservoir located in the Antofagasta Region of Chile, approximately 65 to 68 kilometers northeast of the city of Calama. It sits at a high altitude of 3,000 meters above sea level on the Río Loa. The reservoir is recognized as a suitable location for water sports, including kayaking. The surrounding landscape is the Atacama Desert, which defines its stark, arid aesthetic. The primary access point for recreation is from the nearby town of Conchi, which is connected to Calama. Specific facilities for paddlers, such as boat ramps, are indicated to be available. The reservoir's character is shaped by its engineering purpose and its role as a recreational area in a remote desert environment, combining infrastructure with opportunities for aquatic activities. The water is sourced from the Río Loa, Chile's longest river.
