Paddling near Futrono, Los Ríos

Futrono sits on the northern shore of Lago Ranco in Chile's Región de Los Ríos, one of the ten largest lakes in the country at 438 km². The lake's exceptional water clarity and the network of rivers draining into it — including the Río Calcurrupe and the technical Río Caunehue just east of town — make this area a genuine destination for flatwater paddlers and whitewater kayakers alike.
