Futra Lhewfu

Futra Lhewfu is the great river known as Futaleufú, whose name means “big river” in Mapudungun. Fed by lakes on the eastern side of the Patagonian Andes, it crosses the mountains through a steep valley and enters Lake Yelcho. From there its waters reach the Pacific through the Yelcho River. Forested slopes, rapids and abundant rainfall mark the river’s passage through the mountains.
