Estancia de los Ríos

FreshwaterUpper Río Cisnes valley, Lago Verde commune, near the Argentine border

Since 1996 this six-room log lodge has stood on a 445,000-acre private ranch in the upper Río Cisnes valley, about 15 miles from the Argentine border. Wild brown trout are the only fish, spread through more than 60 miles of river plus spring creeks and mountain lakes, and most of the fishing is on foot with dry flies, with day floats early in the season. An outpost cabin and a tent camp let guests spend nights away from the lodge.
