The Río Grande de Tarija flowing through a landscape.

The Río Grande de Tarija is an important river that flows through two countries: Argentina and Bolivia. It is also known by shorter names like the Río Tarija or simply the Tarija River. This river plays a key role in the water systems of this region.

The Río Grande de Tarija is a tributary of the Bermejo River. A tributary is a smaller river or stream that flows into a larger river. So, the water from the Río Grande de Tarija eventually joins the Bermejo River, adding to its flow.

Where the River Flows

The Río Grande de Tarija starts its journey in Bolivia. It then travels south, forming part of the natural border between Bolivia and Argentina for some distance. This means the river acts like a line on a map, separating the two countries.

Joining the Bermejo River

After flowing through different landscapes, the Río Grande de Tarija meets the Bermejo River. The Bermejo River is a much larger river that eventually flows into the Paraguay River. This connection means that the water from the Tarija River travels a long way, eventually reaching the vast Paraná River system in South America.
