Paddling near Yungay, Ñuble

Yungay sits in Ñuble province amid a dense network of Andean rivers. The Río Laja runs closest to town, and the Río Itata and Río Cholguán are also nearby, while larger systems — the Río Biobío, Río Diguillín, and Río Ñuble — are within reach for day trips. The area draws paddlers to both moving whitewater and the calmer reservoir waters of Embalse Angostura and Laguna del Laja.
