Futaleufú River
The Futaleufú River, located in northern Patagonia, is one of the premier whitewater destinations in the world. The river is fed by glacial and snow melt in the Andean lakes region of Argentina and Chile. Cutting through the volcanic mountain range, the river gorge drops as low as below the surrounding glaciated peaks. The name Futaleufú is an indigenous Mapuche word that means “Grand Grand Waters,” and locals often refer to the valley as "un paisaje pintado por dios"—a landscape painted by God.
==Geography==
The Futaleufú is a river in northern Patagonia fed by the lakes in the Los Alerces National Park in Chubut Province, Argentina, flowing among the Andes Mountains into Chile and opening into Yelcho Lake before becoming Rio Yelcho and continuing to its mouth at the Pacific Ocean. The river originates in Amutui Quimey Lake in Argentina, then flows to the border and enters the Palena Province of Chile, in Los Lagos (X) Region. Whitewater enthusiasts generally paddle the Chilean side of the river. During its course through Chile, the Futaleufú River has three major tributaries, the Rio Chico, which originates in the neighboring Futaleufú National Reserve, the Rio Espolon, and the Rio Azul. All three major tributaries of the "Futa" can be rafted or kayaked in season, with the exception of a magnificent gorge on the Espolon called "The Devil's Throat," which is better viewed than paddled. The Futaleufú watershed also includes several pristine Patagonian lakes such as Lago Espolon, Laguna Espejo, and Lago Lonconao.
