Arroyo Calihuel is a tributary stream flowing through the Patagonian landscape of Chubut Province, Argentina, where it joins the renowned Río Rivadavia near Ruta 71. This confluence area is one of the most celebrated sight fishing destinations in all of Argentine Patagonia, where the Calihuel's waters blend with a side channel of the Rivadavia and nearby springs to create exceptionally clear, glassy conditions that are ideal for spotting and targeting trout. The surrounding riparian environment is rich with biodiversity, and the nearby pond regularly attracts a diverse array of waterfowl and migratory birds, making this a destination that rewards both anglers and naturalists alike.
