Valle del Carrileufu Lodge

Valle del Carrileufu Lodge provides access to some of Patagonia’s finest river, lake and spring creek fisheries. Situated close to the Rivadavia, Arrayanes, Carrileufu and Chubut rivers, as well as numerous productive lakes and smaller spring creeks, it offers an excellent variety of fishing. Experienced guides have fished these waters for many years and know the fisheries exceptionally well.

rewarding fishing

The fishing is particularly rewarding at the beginning and end of the season. November and December offer excellent dry fly fishing, with prolific hatches of mayflies, caddis and dragonflies, while late February and March see cooling water temperatures and larger trout becoming more active ahead of winter. These quieter periods also avoid the peak summer tourist crowds, leaving the rivers and lakes relatively undisturbed.

The lodge works particularly well as part of a combined itinerary with El Encuentro Lodge or Brook Trout Base Camp, with seven-night and ten-night options available. An El Encuentro guide accompanies guests throughout their stay. Away from the fishing, the neighbouring national park offers wonderful opportunities for walking and exploring this beautiful corner of Patagonia.

characterful, cosy lodge

Situated on the edge of Los Alerces National Park, Valle del Carrileufu is an intimate lodge offering an authentic taste of Patagonia. There are six comfortable en-suite bedrooms, an inviting sitting room centered around a large fireplace and plenty of local character. The service is warm and personal, with excellent cuisine and the same attention to detail.
