The dominant coastal feature of the area is the Reloncaví Estuary whose sources of numerous rivers and streams are, in the majority of cases, formed by bodies of water from the lakes and lagoons of the pre-cordillera (the western bank of the estuary) as well as the Andes Cordillera (eastern back of the estuary.)
The county’s principle basin associated with the 188 km Puelo River, originates from Lake Puelo (Argentina.) The sum of the Arroyo Icefield, Traidor, Manso and Puelo Chico rivers among other lesser streams are stronger contributors to the volume closer to the Reloncaví Estuary.
The more significant Lakes in terms of surface area are: Vidal Gormaz, Tagua Tagua, Totoral, Blanco, Verde, Azul, Las Rocas, Inferior, Laguna Brava, El Cabro, Chaparano, Raquelita y Los Patos.
