If you've ever dreamed of the ultimate fly fishing adventure, it doesn't get much better than this. Imagine spending 17-days in the Chilean Patagonia dipping your fly into remote waters barely touched by civilization.
This is a fantastically remote backcountry fly fishing expedition in Chilean Patagonia on estancias and rivers rarely if ever fished before. Accommodations include Magic Waters Lodge and heated WeatherPort tents at a remote base camp. To get to base camp, intrepid anglers will take a 2.5-hour transfer by truck, travel by horseback 1.5 hours, and then take a jet boat roughly 45 minutes to the riverside camp.
Guests will experience 10 full days in solitude floating rivers and walking/wading remote spring creeks and tributaries.
Large water is efficiently accessed via jet-motorized catarafts, while miles of remote spring creek and mountain streams are ideal for walk-and-wade exploration. Departure dates are available in March/April and November/December 2019 and prices start at $12,000 USD per person based on shared room and fishing guide.
Week-long backcountry fly fishing packages are also available.
