The Quebrada de Chacarilla, also known as the río Salado, is a quebrada, or ravine, located in the Tarapacá Region of Chile, approximately 30 kilometers southeast of the town of Pica. This water body flows through a distinctive desert landscape, characterized by its canyon walls. The overall character of the area is one of remote, arid terrain. The waterway holds historical and cultural significance, as evidenced by the presence of archaeological sites. Specifically, in five distinct locations along its upper canyon walls, there are ancient petroglyphs, which are rock carvings depicting human figures, camelids, and geometric patterns. These sites are recognized as part of Chile's national heritage. For paddlers, access points and specific facilities like boat ramps exist. The onWater app is cited as a resource for uncovering fishing access points, boat ramps, and necessary facilities, indicating that some infrastructure for water-based recreation is present. There is no information to suggest paddling is restricted. The seasonal water temperature patterns, specific hazards, recommended routes, and detailed water quality information for paddling are not available.
