La Villa is the restored mansion of the Menéndez Behety family on Estancia María Behety, now a lodge for six anglers on the lower Río Grande in Argentine Tierra del Fuego. Guests fish for sea-run brown trout with one guide for every two anglers, sharing about 100 named pools with the larger EMB Lodge upstream. Everyone gets a single room.
