Quebrada Talca is a coastal quebrada (seasonal stream or ravine) located in the Coquimbo Region of Chile, situated approximately 23 kilometers from La Serena along the Pacific coastline. Like many quebradas in this semi-arid region, it drains from the coastal hills toward the ocean, flowing through a landscape shaped by the characteristic geology of northern Chile's Atacama transition zone. The surrounding terrain is typical of the region — arid to semi-arid slopes with sparse native vegetation, rocky substrates, and a riparian corridor that reflects the seasonal nature of water flow in this part of South America. Its proximity to the Pacific coast means the lower reaches are influenced by marine conditions, making it a location of interest for coastal and estuarine fishing opportunities.
