Its waters fill the lakes of Mascardi, Los Moscos, Hess and Steffen.
These lakes divide the river in three sections: superior, middle
and inferior. It has some important waterfalls like Los Alerces
at its middle section called Manso Medio. This river thanks to geological
cuts starts in Argentina but flows to Chile joining with Puelo river
continuing its way through Tagua - Tagua lake to the Pacific ocean at
Reloncavi bay at the Ancud gulf.
The lower section, Manso Inferior, is a class III river ( from Steffen lake - to old Villegas sawmill), it is known by the valdivian wild forest and particularly by its beautiful sightseeing spots with some rapids that will thrill our emotions when rafting through them. It has also parts of still waters and ponds where you may enjoy swimming.
The lower section Manso Inferior to the Frontier (Chilean border) is class III/IV, it gets more exiting as the river gets into a canyon and drops quicker as it flows to the Pacific. It has the same scenic beauty as the first part but with a special adding of rapids that will make you flow much more adrenaline.
