The Río Nuevo Guadalquivir (also: Río Guadalquivir ) is a river in the south of the South American Andean state of Bolivia .
The Río Nuevo Guadalquivir is formed from the confluence of several smaller bodies of water near the municipality of Trancas, west of the village of Tomatas Grande . These include the Río Chamata , the Río Vermillo , the Río Trancas and the Río Muyorkho , all of which have their origin about fifty kilometers north of the city of Tarija in the Cordillera de Sama at an altitude of about 3400 m . The river, named after the Andalusian river Guadalquivir , bears the name "Río Nuevo Guadalquivir" from this confluence above the village of Tomatas Grande and flows largely southwards past the city center of Tarija. Below Tarija, the river joins the Río Camacho after a total of 36 kilometers near the rural town of Valle de Concepción (formerly: Uriondo ) and from there bears the name "Río Tarija" until it joins the Río Itaú , then to the mouth in the Río Bermejo the name Río Grande de Tarija .
