Your Home in the Wetlands
Where comfort meets the wild wetlands.
Tucked into Argentina’s breathtaking wetlands, our lodge delivers a combination of comfort and a relaxed atmosphere. With panoramic views of the beautiful Corrientes river and large open spaces, it’s the perfect venue to relax after a big day on the boats.
Our on-site chef competes to make the cuisine as bright as the fishing itself. Catena wines, local dishes, and our own beef for asados—produced right at the lodge—will be the other highlight of this trip.
This is more than a fishing lodge—it’s an authentic Argentine experience where world-class angling meets genuine gaucho hospitality.
