river located in theAraucanía Region ofChile . Its headwaters drain the southeasternmost portion ofVillarrica National Park , including the northwestern slope ofLanín volcano. The river flows initially to the north and from its junction with its main tributary, the "Maichín River", the Trancura turns in a westerly direction until emptying into theVillarrica Lake , after having received the waters ofCaburgua Lake through "Carrileufú River". This latter river emerges at theOjos del Caburgua and is fed by the "Liucura River", which further has as a tributary the outflow stream ofTinquilco Lake .The town of Curarrehue is located near its confluence with the Maichín River.
