Paddling near Constitución, Maule

Constitución sits at the mouth of the Río Maule in Chile's Maule Region, where the river meets the Pacific. The area's signature paddle is the two-day descent of the Río Maule from Curtiduría to Constitución — a largely roadless corridor of mixed flatwater and moving current, passing small rural communities and abundant birdlife. Maguillines, a coastal access point near the city, also serves as a launch site for kayaking and paddleboarding.
