Limari Mouth

The Limarí River reaches the Pacific on the semi-arid coast of central Chile, south of the hills of Fray Jorge. Near the coast, sea fog gathers on high ground and sustains pockets of humid forest amid the otherwise dry landscape. The river valley descends from the Andes through an increasingly arid region before opening onto the sea. Its mouth brings together riverbank, coastal vegetation and the cold waters of the Humboldt Current.
