Paddling near El Bolsón, Río Negro
El Bolsón sits at the foot of Piltriquitrón mountain in the southern Río Negro province, surrounded by glacier-fed rivers and Andean lakes. The area draws paddlers to the emerald-green Río Azul, the glassy waters of Lago Epuyén, and the lakes of Lago Puelo National Park, just 15 km south of town. Flatwater kayaking and SUP share the calendar with whitewater runs on the Río Manso, making this a versatile destination for all skill levels.
