A river festival to help save and protect the nuble river is taking place in San Fabian de Alico November 18-20
Jon Clark has just setup a blog here —http://www.nublefest.blogspot.com/
The nuble is one the most beautiful ( big warm blue water ) and friendliest (safe ) rivers in Chile and is currently under threat of a diversion which would effectively ruin the river for whitewater kayaking and for tourism in the small town of San Fabian.
