The Lonquén River is in the Ñuble Region in the southern part of Central Chile.
It forms at the confluence of the esteros Pichimávida and Colomávida that originate in the mountains in the east of the province.
In this section, it receives from the north the tributaries of the esteros Ranquil, Cholchol, Reloca, San Jose, and Santa Rosa, and from the south the esteros Corontas, Buenos Aires, Luengos, Cabrería, Molino, and Antequereo.
Fort Lonquén was built in 1602 by the Governor Alonso de Ribera on the south bank of the Lonquén River 9 km above its confluence with the Itata River.
