Paddling near Esquel, Chubut
Esquel sits in the Andean foothills of Chubut, gateway to Parque Nacional Los Alerces and its interconnected lake basin. Paddlers here move between glacier-fed lakes—Futalaufquen, Rivadavia, Menéndez—and rivers like the Río Chubut, while Laguna La Zeta, just 4 km from the city centre, provides an accessible flatwater option for beginners and casual outings.
