Ruca Choroy
The Ruca Choroy river is born from the lake of the same name, in the southwest of the province of Neuquén. Part of its route is within the Lanín National Park, in the Argentine Republic.
It belongs to the Negro river basin. Near the mouth of the Ruca Choroy river in the Aluminé river, is the town of Aluminé, just 15 km away.
It is a mighty river and special for the practice of rafting, having very attractive sectors within the levels that the practice of this sport gives, there are levels 3 to 4 in routes of up to 15 km, and also of lower intensity in level 2 to 3 for beginners. Kayaking is another attraction for those daring who seek to increase their adrenaline with strong emotions.
The first section of the river's journey runs through forests dominated by araucarias. As it moves east, it enters the Patagonian steppe, although there are isolated araucaria groves up to near the mouth of the same.
Throughout the river valley, there are settlements of Mapuche communities, dedicated to livestock and subsistence agriculture. A documentary by Jorge Preloran, from 1973, has portrayed the living conditions of these communities.
