Estancia Tecka Lodge

FreshwaterCorcovado and Tecka rivers, south of Esquel

Estancia Tecka is a 435,000-acre sheep ranch about 50 miles south of Esquel, run by the Ochoa family since 1968 and open to anglers since 2001. Anglers float the Corcovado in drift boats, wading some of it, and fish the Tecka spring creek from the bank with dry flies; a lagoon holds large trout, and the catch is rainbows, browns and brook trout. Guests stay either at Caridad on the Corcovado or in the original 1920s headquarters house.
