OVERVIEW
Overlooking the scenic Chimehuin River, this lodge is surrounded by northern Patagonia’s most diverse trout waters. The Chimehuin River, for instance, is a trophy-trout producer and within a short drive you’ll find other world- class waters including the Malleo, Collon Cura and Alumine rivers, as well as Tromen, Epulafquen, Huechulafquen, Curruhe, and Verde lakes. Historically, these fabled fisheries have combined to help put Patagonia on the fly-fishing map. And each river or lake has the potential to produce a trout of a lifetime. Brown, rainbow, brook trout, and landlocked salmon thrive in our waters and readily take flies. To top off your day, enjoy ultimate comfort, excellent cuisine, and a full selection of Argentina’s renowned wines back at the lodge.
