Paddling near Río Colorado, Río Negro


Río Colorado sits at the northern edge of Patagonia in Río Negro province, where the Río Colorado marks the boundary. The river itself is the marquee water here, and the broader Río Grande–Río Colorado corridor is known among expedition paddlers for a multi-day descent through Andean canyons and the volcanic landscape of Reserva La Payunia, with Class III and IV rapids before the river opens into flatter reaches approaching the city.
