Eleven Rio Palena Lodge

FreshwaterRío Palena valley near Palena — Palena, lower Futaleufú and Lago Yelcho; by helicopter, Río Azul, upper Tigre, Río Tranquilo, Lago X and Lago Rosas

This seven-room Eleven Experience lodge sits on the Río Palena near the town of Palena, in northern Chilean Patagonia. Two anglers to a guide wade or float the Palena, the lower Futaleufú and Lago Yelcho for rainbow and brown trout, and the lodge helicopter flies out to backcountry rivers and lakes. Rafting, hiking and other guided outings come with the stay, so it works for non-anglers too.
