Aconcagua River

Aconcagua River

Spanish  Río Aconcagua 

      river in central Chile. It rises in the northwestern foothills of Mount Aconcagua of the Andes Mountains and flows westward from the Argentine border area to enter the Pacific Ocean north of the city of Viña del Mar after a course of 120 miles (190 km). Much of the Chilean trackage of the Transandine Railway to Mendoza, Arg., follows the river valley, as does the highway from Los Andes to Mendoza.
