White-Water Rafting

Thanks to all of its interconnected lakes and rivers, the national park offers rafters everything from a basic family float down the swift-flowing, scenic Río Limay to a wild and exciting ride down Río Manso (Class II), which carries you 16 km (10 miles) in three hours. If you're really adventurous, you can take the Manso all the way to Chile (Class IV).
