Paddling near Plottier, Neuquén

Plottier sits in Neuquén province at the edge of the northern Patagonian steppe, where the Río Limay runs just a couple of kilometres from town. The area draws paddlers to the Limay's clear, fast-moving water, with the put-in at Espigones de China Muerta — roughly 5 km west of Plottier along Ruta Provincial 22 — serving as the main launch point for kayak runs downstream past dramatic wind-carved cliffs. The balneario Nepen Hue on the Limay is an active SUP hub, hosting organised events and home to Quimey SUP, the first certified SUP school in Neuquén province.
