Paddling near Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego

Río Grande sits on the Atlantic coast of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, where the Río Grande — the island's largest river — meets the sea. Paddling here means tidal estuary water at the river mouth, with the option to head upstream or out briefly into open coastal water. Nearby lakes and smaller rivers, including Lago Yehuin and the Río Chico, extend the possibilities for flatwater touring across a remote, wind-swept sub-Antarctic landscape.
