The Vizcachas River is a binational watercourse that rises in the southeast of Santa Cruz and reaches the Magallanes region on the other side of the Andes. Chilean ranchers say that, suddenly, the river dried up and denounce that it is due to works carried out on the Argentine side.

The Chilean Foreign Ministry sent a note to the Argentine government to claim the watercourse. It asks for background information to explain the anomalous situation in the riverbed, which is born from streams that descend from the Sierra de los Baguales.
