Quebrada Seca is an intermittent watercourse, approximately 14 kilometers long, located in the Atacama Region of Chile. It flows through a desert landscape before reaching its terminus at the Pacific Ocean. The waterway is characterized by its intermittent nature, meaning its flow is not constant and is highly dependent on seasonal rainfall patterns typical of the Atacama Desert. This results in long periods where the channel may be dry or contain minimal water, a critical factor for paddlers to consider when planning a trip. The area where Quebrada Seca meets the coast is near Playa de Maldonado, a beach that blends the stark desert scenery with coastal charm, offering a distinctive visual contrast. This coastal zone provides a potential access point and a notable sight for paddlers reaching the ocean. The overall paddling experience here is defined by the extreme arid environment, where the presence of water is a temporary and precious feature. There are no known tributaries feeding into Quebrada Seca. Specific details regarding established put-in/take-out access points, seasonal water temperature patterns, water quality, on-water hazards, or available facilities for paddlers are not provided. Paddlers must undertake thorough, independent research into current water levels and local conditions before any attempt, as the intermittent flow makes the viability of a paddling trip highly variable and unpredictable.
