Paddling near Lago Puelo, Chubut

Lago Puelo sits in the Patagonian Andes of Chubut province, at the edge of Parque Nacional Lago Puelo. The lake itself — calm, blue-green, and only about 200 metres above sea level — is the centrepiece for kayaking and SUP in the area, while Lago Epuyén and the Río Azul round out the local paddling scene. Unusually warm summer water temperatures and sheltered bays make this one of the more accessible flatwater destinations in Argentine Patagonia.
