It's winter up here in the Northern Hemisphere but that doesn't mean you need to stop fishing! No, I'm not talking about an ice fishing expedition though that can be a cool idea. No, I'm talking about heading to the wild waters of South America where Our winter is their summer. Check out this awesome idea for a fishing expedition in Argentina from Frontiers International Travel!
Frontiers International Travel is thrilled to announce a new fishing expedition to the recently constructed Suinda Lodge located in Argentina’s Corrientes Province on the legendary Paraná River. This bucket list trip offers exceptional catch-and-release fishing for dorado, pirá pitá and pacú. Gourmet cuisine includes Argentina’s famed beef and fine wines, traditional Asados (BBQs), and delicious desserts. A 5-night/4-day fishing package starts at $4,625 per person double and can be booked September/October and Jan 1 – May 31 seasonally. The rate includes lodging, meals, an open bar, professional guide services, and loaner fishing equipment. The fishing program accepts just 8 anglers each week. For more information, visit https://www.frontierstravel.com/suinda-lodge or call Frontiers at 800-245-1950.
“The Paraná River offers exceptional multi-species fishing,” said Hank Ingram of Frontiers International Travel. “Fly and conventional anglers will cast to pirá pitá targeting insects in the jungle canopy, monster pacú sipping fruit and flowers, and river-hardened ambush-minded dorado.”
Guests will leave the lodge around 6 am or earlier in custom, comfort-enhanced skiffs specifically designed for fishing the Paraná. They’ll return for a swim, lunch and drinks at around 10 am. After a siesta, boats will head back out around 4:30 pm and return at dusk.
In addition to the amazing fishing, a team of experienced chefs, trained in both classic and avant-garde culinary techniques, prepare every meal from scratch to be served at a minute’s notice. Dinner menus are paired with some of Argentina’s finest wines, Bodega Catena Zapata.
