Шаблон:Infobox river Шаблон:Coord The Carchi River is a river of Ecuador. It rises on the slopes of Chiles Volcano, elevation Шаблон:Convert, on the border of Ecuador and Colombia. The river flows eastward across the high plateau of El Angel.[1] The Carchi has a total course of about Шаблон:Convert, forming the border between Colombia and Ecuador for about Шаблон:Convert. It passes between the cities of Tulcan, Ecuador and Ipiales, Colombia and beneath the Rumichaca Bridge, the principal terrestrial link between Colombia and Ecuador.[2] Entering Colombia, the Carchi becomes known as the Guáitara River which is a tributary of the Patía River.

The Pasto people lived along the Carchi River in pre-Columbian times. At the northernmost point of the Inca Empire the Pasto were never fully conquered by the Incas.[3] The Carchi was known as the Angasmayo River by the Incas and the early Spanish colonists. A natural stone bridge at Rumichaca was the northernmost outpost of the Inca Empire.[4]
