Paddling near Neuquén, Neuquén

Neuquén sits at the confluence of the Río Limay and Río Neuquén in northern Patagonia, where those two rivers merge to form the Río Negro. The city is a practical base for paddling both rivers, with a well-known kayak route descending 24 kilometres along the Río Limay through Plottier, La Herradura, and under the Puente Las Perlas to the city itself. The broader province is exceptionally water-rich, with lakes, reservoirs, and river channels suited to everything from flatwater SUP to serious whitewater upstream.
