Paddling near Los Lagos, Los Ríos


Los Lagos sits in the Los Ríos region where the Río San Pedro drains Lago Riñihue just kilometers from town, making it a natural base for whitewater paddling. The San Pedro is one of Chile's most celebrated kayaking rivers, running from crystal-clear flatwater through powerful Class III+ rapids before joining the Río Calle Calle. Lago Riñihue, Lago Ranco, and Lago Panguipulli round out the area's still-water paddling, while the broader network of Andean rivers draws kayakers from across Chile and Argentina.
