The Rio Juncalito is a river located in the Atacama Region of Chile, situated at a high altitude of approximately 3900 meters above sea level. It is a remote destination, located about 150 kilometers from the town of Diego de Almagro and 220 kilometers from Copiapó. The river's character is defined by its extreme high-altitude desert environment, which includes notable features such as the Cascada Congelada, or Frozen Waterfall. This waterfall is a specific point of interest, and during the winter season, it can become frozen, presenting a unique and dramatic sight. The area surrounding the river includes the Corrales del Juncalito. Specific access points for paddling, such as boat ramps or put-ins, are available on certain planning tools. The primary activities highlighted for the area include kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing near the Cascada Congelada. The region is best visited in a full-day trip format due to its significant distance from major population centers. No information is provided regarding seasonal water temperature patterns, water quality, specific hazards, regulations for paddlers, recommended routes, or detailed facilities for paddlers beyond the mention of amenities for a day by the water.
