Quebrada de las Zorras is a natural watercourse located in the Antofagasta Region of Chile, originating near the international border and flowing westward approximately 12 kilometers before draining into the endorheic basin of Salar Punta Negra. This remote high-altitude quebrada (ravine stream) is part of a broader network of watercourses that feed the Salar Punta Negra from multiple directions, including the Quebrada de las Zorritas, El Salto, Cachiyuyo, Llullaillaco, La Barda, Tocomar, and Barrancas Blancas from the east, as well as the Río Frío from the south. The stream carries a mean flow of approximately 0.04 cubic meters per second (40 liters per second) during summer, reflecting the highly seasonal and arid nature of this Atacama Desert watershed. The surrounding landscape is characteristic of the high Atacama, with the quebrada situated southeast of the Salar de Atacama in one of the most extreme desert environments in the world. Historical records dating back to Luis Risopatrón's 1924 Diccionario Jeográfico de Chile note the presence of vegas — wetland meadow areas — associated with this geographic feature, suggesting localized zones of moisture and vegetation within an otherwise stark desert terrain.
