Argentina
Fly Fishing, Trout Fishing, and Adventure Touring in
Patagonia
Argentina Fly Fishing - Surrounded by snow
capped mountains La Patagonia Lodge overlooks the quaint
and historically fascinating village of Trevelin,
settled by early Welsh pioneers a century ago. The
environs of Trevelin are a persistent reminder of
Montana, Colorado or Wyoming of fifty years ago without
the crowds. However, Patagonia is a unique experience
when you see our Gauchos (Argentine cowboys), our
emerald waters, Pink Flamingos, Nandu (small ostriches),
Guanacos, or listen to Ibis’s sounding overhead
alongside our soaring Condors.
Fish small spring
creeks to huge rivers that are 200 yards across. From La
Patagonia Lodge anglers can access 26 different waters
doing day trips. Rivers Rio Grande, Rio Chubut, Rio
Corcovado, Arroyo Pescado, Rio Corinto and others are
classic waters. Rio Rivadavia ranks with some of the
most beautiful rivers in the world. Its banks cluttered
with native rain forest highlighting waters as gin clear
as any stream in the world. It offers a perfect
opportunity to spot fish.
A four-hour drive to
the south gives you a choice of other, equally beautiful
streams, Rio Pico and its tributaries. Nearby Lagos
(lakes) Futalaufquen and Rosario enjoy high reputations,
and there are many less discovered smaller lakes and
streams, some still to be explored.
Our lodge is
a modern, well-appointed 5 star facility. It is American
owned and operated. The first floor contains two warm
and cozy lounge areas with spectacular vistas of the
mountains, an inviting fireplace, bar, spacious dining
room, and kitchen. On our second floor, you can either
sit outside on our balcony and enjoy the fresh mountain
air or relax inside the bright two-story family room,
where we keep our fly tying table.
We have six
comfortable and very cozy bedrooms on the second floor,
each accommodating two guests with private toilet and
shower and bath facilities with abundant hot water. We
serve authentic Argentine cuisine, a rich collection of
culinary traditions from Spain, France, Germany, and
Italy with some native influence added. Most guests are
pleased to find the highly seasoned (hot) dishes of
other Latin countries are not popular here. All the
components, meats, vegetables, fruits, and seasonings,
even the soy sauce are Argentine. We hope this adds to
the pleasure and value of your time here with
us.
So when the time is right for you to make
your journey, we hope you will consider a stay at
LaPatagonia Lodge. Please let us know how we can be of
assistance.
