Quebrada de Macurquima is a stream located in the Tarapacá Region of northern Chile, within the Provincia del Tamarugal and the commune of Huara. Situated at approximately 19°25′23″S, 69°05′35″W, this quebrada originates northwest of the cerro of the same name and flows southeast until it empties into the Quebrada de Aroma. As part of the Pampa del Tamarugal drainage basin — one of the most arid landscapes in the world — this stream represents a rare water feature in an otherwise extremely dry high-altitude desert environment. The quebrada is also known locally by several alternate names, including Quebrada Macurquina, Arroyo Macurquina, Arroyo Macorquina, and Quebrada Macorquima.
