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:
- Rent a car in a major Argentina or Chile town/destination.
- 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!
- If you extra time, check out Tierra del Fuego.
- 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.

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.
