Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan gave the name Patagonia to the southern tip of South America The name “Patagonia” is derived from the Portuguese word “pata gau” which means “Big Foot” due to the many large footprints of the indigenous people he found on the sand.

Sharing a latitude similar to the Columbia River in the states, its climate and topography is very conducive to salmonid growth. Due to the cold temperatures and abundant rivers in the region, the Salmonid species have found an ideal habitat to live and reproduce, thus becoming a paradise for fishing enthusiasts.

The practically new Cinco Rios Lodge is located within ten minutes of Coyhaique and overlooks the Simpson River and valley. Each year the waters of Patagonia summon fishermen from all over the world for an unforgettable experience with each trip.

Situated on the banks of the legendary Simpson River, the Cinco Rios lodge has a spectacular view of the majestic Patagonian Andes that will elicit your first “Wow” response which will be the first of many during your week’s stay.

Cinco Rios was born in 2002 when Jay Burgin and Mary Jacques, owners of the legendary Five Rivers Lodge in Dillon Montana, captivated by the beauty and fishing of the area decided to create a unique lodge right in the heart of Chilean Patagonia with his Chilean partner Sebastian Galilea Sola.

After ten years, Jay, Mary and Sebastian built a brand new lodge in 2012. Mirrored by the hospitality of its owners, the lodge’s comfortable rooms, exquisite cuisine, outstanding wines and the professionalism of its staff, Cinco Rios Lodge is the perfect place to enjoy your next vacation and fly fishing adventure in the Chilean Patagonia.

Each morning, after a sumptuous breakfast at the lodge, you will along with your guide be taken via truck to rivers and streams ranging from 30 minutes to an hour away on dirt roads. The lodge also has access to several private rivers and creeks, with some of them located just across the border in Argentina.

Among the waters you will fish are, Rio La Paloma, Rio Simpson, the Manihuales and Aysen Rivers. You will also have the option of fishing several lakes in the area. Usually two days will be spent fishing the Paloma and Azul via jet boat, and two days floating the Simpson or Manihuales in rafts. Two days will be spent wading in small streams.

The most prevalent insects are grasshoppers and beetles, so you can expect spending the day slapping the water with hopper patterns and watching “hog” trout coming up and wacking them hard. On some waters matching the hatch will be needed to fool the fish.

You will be happy to know that there is so much water available to the lodge that in many cases you will be casting to fish who haven’t seen an artificial fly all year. The trout come in all sizes but the one thing they have in common is that they are all healthy chunky fish and among them are many true trophies.

The lodge employs experienced professional guides that will ensure your satisfaction. They are always happy to share their vast knowledge of fly fishing and the outdoors whether you be an expert or novice.

Though the lodge has equipment available, they recommend that you bring as much of your own equipment as possible. A small fly shop is on site, should you need tackle items.
