The lodge features 12 river-view en-suite rooms with air conditioning and private bathrooms, offering comfortable king or queen accommodations. Guests enjoy a fully all-inclusive experience with outstanding local cuisine, Argentine wines, and thoughtful amenities including Wi-Fi, laundry service, a swimming pool, and optional post-fishing massages for a relaxing end to each day on the water.

Typical Itineraries

Anglers fish from a fleet of seven fully equipped boats designed for two anglers and an experienced local captain who knows the waters intimately. Days begin around 7:00 AM with runs to productive fishing grounds, followed by full days targeting Golden Dorado across the river system. Lunch is typically enjoyed as a relaxed island barbecue, though anglers can also opt for packed lunches to maximize fishing time before returning to the lodge in the early evening.

Fishing Program & Equiptment

Anglers main target will be Golden Dorado. Our fish typically range from 2–20 pounds, anglers can except days of 20+ fish regardless of fishing style. The fishery also offers opportunities for Surubí catfish, Pira Pita, Payara, and seasonal Pacú from December through March. Anglers can fish with fly, lures, or bait depending on preference, with experienced guides helping tailor tackle and techniques to match the conditions and maximize success. *GEAR IS NOT INCLUDED ON TRIP*

This is a hidden gem but not for much longer I fear. Top quality in all respects from minor detail to attentiveness all day long. Absolutely killed with kindness, meat and Malbec from someone who forgot to turn off the tap. And oh the fishing...brilliant..fish hard or be sensible and just enjoy. The guides...Ramon looked after me for my second year...I've fished all over..world class and believe me I mean it.
