The Itata River flows in the Bío Bío Region, southern Chile.
Until the Conquest of Chile the Itata was the natural limit between the Mapuche, located to the south, and Picunche, to the north.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“The mountain may be approached more easily and directly on horseback and on foot from the northeast side, by the Aroostook road, and the Wassataquoik River; but in that case you see much less of the wilderness, none of the glorious river and lake scenery, and have no experience of the batteau and the boatman’s life.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
