More about Río Chimehuín

The Río Chimehuín is a freestone river in Neuquén, Argentina. The Patagonian inland fisheries commission of Chubut, Neuquén, Río Negro and the national parks lists it in the Neuquén annex of its 2026/27 sport-fishing regulation. Neuquén's Ministry of Tourism names it in its 2026 sport-fishing brochure. It runs from Lago Huechulafquen (the Boca) to the Río Collón Curá, near Junín de los Andes. Also called Boca del Chimehuín.
