DIY Southern Patagonia: Mountains, Glaciers, Rivers, Lakes, and Sea Run Brown Trout

 Visiting Southern Patagonia?
Lodge vs. Independent Travel and Fishing

You could stay at a popular sea run brown trout fishing lodge, spending between $5-$7K USA -- just to get in the door.  You will fish for 5.5 days, but pay for a week.  Hopefully, you will catch a few trophies to make the trip memorable -- but there is never a guaranty.  Or, based on our 20 years of DIY travel/fishing experience in southern Patagonia, you could do what we think is the right, smart-sensible thing.

If you have 1-4 weeks, we HIGHLY recommend doing the following:
  1. Rent a car in a major Argentina or Chile town/destination.
  2. You must go to Torres del Paine National Park, Fitz Roy, Perito Moreno Glacier.  Be a tourist.  Go hiking. Camp. Kayak. Eat-Sleep and be Merry!
  3. If you extra time, check out Tierra del Fuego.
  4. Finally, spend 2-5 days fishing with us on the Rio Gallegos.  We offer a guided DIY, non-lodge stay, fishing program, that is ideal for people who like to see and do many things.

Why Follow our Recommendations?

Final Words

We hate selling-promoting on price, but why do less and pay more?  Southern Patagonia is one of the most unique destinations in the world -- it offers DIY travelers/anglers incredible opportunities.  We sincerely hope you take full advantage of what it has to offer.
