The Enco River (in Spanish: Río Enco) is a river in the Panguipulli area of southern Chile. It flows from Panguipulli Lake into Riñihue Lake. This river carries water from six lakes in the Seven Lakes region into Riñihue, which is the last lake in the chain.
The Enco River is special because it drains Panguipulli Lake from its eastern, mountainous side. Most lakes drain through lower, western hills. The river is located between the Mocho-Choshuenco Volcano and Cerro Maltusado.
Exploring the Enco River
The Enco River flows for about 11.5 kilometers (7 miles) from Panguipulli Lake to Riñihue Lake. This part of the river is very scenic. On its eastern side, you can see the amazing Mocho-Choshuenco Volcano.
Fun Activities on the River
The Enco River has clear water and is quite safe in many parts. This makes it a popular spot for people who enjoy rafting and other white water sports. The beautiful views and exciting currents attract many adventurers.
The river has strong currents, but it does not have boat traffic. This makes it a great place for activities like rafting where you want to experience nature without many other boats around.
