Each fly fishing program is tailored to your preferences and the time of the season you visit. We recommend at least a one-week fly fishing trip to experience the wide variety of waters we fish.
Le Fario
7 nights / 6,5 fly fishing days
Fly to Esquel (a 2-hour flight from Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital). A lodge representative will meet guests and transfer them to Le Fario Lodge. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by the lodge owners, Laura & Gonzalo, with an appetizer, and they can settle in before dinner.
From Day 2 to Day 6, guests fish six different waters near Los Alerces National Park, Trevelin, and Esquel area.
On Day 7, after breakfast, guests will fish the whole morning in Laguna Larga, right in front of the lodge. After lunch, they will be driven back to Esquel airport to catch a return flight to Buenos Aires.
The diversity of fly fishing options ensures every angler will find their favorite water.

Fishing journeys typically start at 8 AM and end around 8 PM, depending on the month, as daylight varies significantly during the 6-month fishing season. The chosen fishing itineraries depend on the angler's preferences and interests. We suggest 7 fishing days for the Esquel and National Park area, and 5 for Rio Pico, or vice versa. Regardless of the chosen fishing destination, we will organize a specific itinerary for each angler, taking into consideration their preferences and the fishing results in each location based on the trip date.
All of our guides are authorized by the Chubut province and National Parks, possessing extensive knowledge of our waters, and they will do their best to make your fly fishing days in Patagonia unforgettable. One Argentina Waters guide will accompany every two anglers. Each guide is equipped with professional fishing tackle, rafts, oars, and everything necessary for the fishing journey.
