This six-cabin lodge stands on an 80,000-acre ranch beside the Limay tailwater in Neuquén, with about 30 miles of river to float, and is run by the owners of the Chocolate Lab Expeditions guide service. Anglers fish from drift boats or wade side channels for resident rainbows and big migratory browns that run up from El Chocón reservoir, often on dry flies. It opened for the 2022 season and sleeps twelve.
