About Reserva Provincial Río Valdez
The Reserva Provincial Río Valdez occupies the southeast shore of Lago Khami, near Tolhuin. The area protects forest sectors, peatlands and a portion of the Fuegian ecotone, where forest vegetation begins to interface with more open environments.
The territory includes trails and water points, such as Laguna del Indio. Coastal sectors allow observation of the forest-lake relationship, while other routes go into the reserve’s interior. Proximity to town does not mean every point has the same access.
Plan your time according to the route chosen, bringing waterproof clothing and hiking footwear. From November to March there is usually more daylight to explore natural areas. Before driving out, check the road to the intended sector; before paddling or fishing, verify local conditions and activity rules.
Before you go
Practical information
Cidade Turismo reviews its information regularly, but something may have changed. Check with the place before planning your trip.
How much time to set aside
Half a day for a sector near the shore; longer outings require independent planning.
Best time
From November to March longer days usually make routes easier. In April and May foliage tends to change color, with a reduction in daily light.
How to get there
Accesses start from Ruta Nacional 3 and provincial roads along the south shore of Lago Khami. Arrange the route in Tolhuin before starting your trip.
Tip
Don’t plan the outing based solely on the reserve name; specify whether you are going to the shore, the lagoon, or another designated route.
