More about Río Chubut

The Río Chubut is a freestone river in Chubut and Río Negro, Argentina. The Patagonian inland fisheries commission of Chubut, Neuquén, Río Negro and the national parks lists it in the Chubut and Río Negro annexes of its 2026/27 sport-fishing regulation. This page covers the upper Chubut, from its source in Río Negro to Las Plumas in Chubut (the stretch the regulation calls Río Chubut Superior below the 42nd parallel). Also called Upper Chubut.
