The Río Camacho is a river in the south of the South American Andean state of Bolivia .

The source of the Camacho is in the Bolivian Cordillera Oriental near the border with Argentina at an altitude of 3725  m . From there the Camacho flows in a northerly direction and flows 72 km into the Río Nuevo Guadalquivir , upper reaches of the Río Tarija , 6 km below the village of Valle de Concepción .

The Camacho is not navigable along its entire length and, depending on the season, is subject to considerable water fluctuations. In the winter months from April to October there is only average monthly precipitation of less than 30 mm, so that the Camacho hardly has any water during this time, while in the wet season from December to February it can repeatedly overflow its banks with monthly precipitation of over 100 mm .
