Zanjón de la Aguada, Natural brook in Peñalolén, Chile

The Zanjón de la Aguada extends 27 kilometers from Quebrada de Macul to the Mapocho River, crossing through nine municipalities of Santiago metropolitan area.

During the colonial period in the 17th century, the brook marked the southern boundary of the Ñuñoa colonial farms, next to Hacienda del Chequén.

The Víctor Jara Floodable Park along the brook contains a 53-meter-long mural celebrating the Chilean musician's life through public art.

The waterway functions as a crucial drainage system for 21 municipalities in Santiago, managing stormwater runoff during heavy rainfall periods.

The brook's banks have transformed from illegal dumping sites into the fifth largest park in Santiago, with 41 hectares of green spaces.
