Your trip

We want to ensure your trip with us is a once in a lifetime experience and thus prefer not to offer fixed itineraries. Instead, we want to get to know your likes and dislikes and tailor your schedule accordingly. If you want to stay in a relatively tightly defined geographic area, then we will arrange that. If instead you want to see different parts of Patagonia and fish varied rivers and lakes, we will organise things accordingly.

If you combine a love of fishing with riding, say the word, and we will organize horses, guides and lodges along a defined route.

But to give you some ideas, we have provided a sample itinerary in the right hand column. Have a read, give us a call and we can discuss how best to make your Argentine adventure the most exciting and rewarding holiday you’ve ever had!

Extras

We are also able to arrange sea-trout fishing on the Rio Grande, horse-riding, dove shooting and spa/golf in the Bariloche area.
