Paddling near Comandante Luis Piedrabuena, Santa Cruz

Comandante Luis Piedrabuena sits on the left bank of the Río Santa Cruz in the department of Corpen Aike, Santa Cruz province, Argentine Patagonia. The Río Santa Cruz — roughly 500 metres wide here — is the defining water for paddlers, drawing kayakers and canoeists to its broad, navigable current. Guided kayak tours operate on the river, and the surrounding Patagonian landscape adds to the appeal of any time on the water.
