Trekking

The abundant flora and fauna is overwhelming. You can easily learn how to identify species, and taste delicious wild berries such as Calafate, Murtilla and Chaura. Spotting animals’ feces will give us a clue to recognize what mammals have been around; pumas, foxes, huemules. For those who enjoy bird watching: Condors, giant Magellan Woodpeckers, Huet Huets, and many other birds to spot. Circuits range between low and intermediate level and last from 1 to 8 hr approximately. A tasty lunch-box is prepared for long outings. In some cases the trek may be combined with a boat ride; our guide will decide this in situ.

Fly fishing

Another great attraction of our lodge. Depending on the prevailing winds one may access different beaches and spend endless hours in peaceful solitude casting away, while enjoying the fabulous scenery with incredible views to the Vespignani glacier and Fitz Roy, surrounded by plenty of trees, a pure Nothofagus forest. The average trout size ranges between 1-2 kg, rainbow and brown trouts.
