Paddling near Río Bueno, Los Ríos

Río Bueno sits in the Los Ríos region of southern Chile, where the river of the same name drains a broad lake-and-forest landscape toward the Pacific. The Río Bueno itself is the centrepiece for paddlers: a multi-day sea-kayak descent from the town to the coast at La Barra is well established, and the nearby Río Pilmaiquén adds accessible Class II/III whitewater. Lago Ranco broadens the options for flatwater touring.
