The Chubut River (
Spanish, Río Chubut;
Welsh, Afon Camwy) is a river in
Patagonia, Southern
Argentina. Its name derives from the
Tehuelche word chupat, meaning "transparent", their description of the river. As this word is similar to the
Spanish word chupar ("to suck" or, in slang, "to booze"), the river's name was
bowdlerized — adjusted for public decorum. The Welsh name "Afon Camwy" means the "twisting river"
