Paddling near Santo Tomé, Santa Fe

Santo Tomé sits on the eastern bank of the Río Salado, directly across from the city of Santa Fe in the province of Santa Fe, Argentina. The area is defined by the vast Paraná floodplain system, where paddlers can access the Laguna Setubal (also known as Laguna de Guadalupe), the Río Colastiné, and the broader channels and backwaters that connect to the Río Paraná — one of the great rivers of South America. Flatwater paddling on the lagunas and quieter arms of the Paraná is the dominant local experience, drawing kayakers, canoeists, and SUP riders to calm, wildlife-rich waters close to the city.
