Rio Pico Area

The Rio Pico area of Chubut province, Argentina is known somewhat privately amongst area guides and outfitters as the “big trout” country in Patagonia. Though the local environment hosts an almost unbelievable quantity of waters in diverse types, shapes and sizes, the fact that a much higher than average number of these hold fish of true-trophy size is what accounts for the region’s fame. It is really no wonder we chose to locate our offices and living quarters here.

For this destination you’ll be picked up at the airport in Esquel, then driven south by your guide three hours to the quaint little behind-the-times town of Rio Pico. After a chance to unwind and relax you’ll be treated to a traditional Argentine asado dinner while getting to know the guides and other guests, then the next day after breakfast begin fishing the waters that make our area so special. The ones we’re willing to name online (and there are many we are not) include the famous “numbered lakes” 1 through 5, the Rio Pico, the Rio Nilson, The Rio Las Pampas, the Rio Corcovado, and the enormous and pristine Lago Vintter.

Package rates are per person based on double occupancy, and include everything except flights, airport transfers other than from and to Esquel, fishing licenses, laundry, international telephone service, and guide/staff gratuities.
