Rio Palena Lodge, Chile

Sale price$0.00
Nestled against a lush green hillside, in a stunning Andean valley on the banks of the magnificent Rio Palena, Eleven’s casually elegant lodge is your ultimate fly-fishing and adventure retreat. The central location in a region famous for large wild trout—browns and rainbows—is highlighted by the home waters of the Palena; where you can wade and float glass-clear aqua-colored water right out the front door. And these special super-charged trout thrive in the glacial waters of the myriad of lakes, rivers, and streams all over this slice of Patagonia, providing anglers with a diversity of experiences. Your professional guides know each stretch of river you will fish, each bay and lagoon, and they will put you on the best fishing water at the time of your trip. The lodge accommodates only 14 guests per week in 7 well-appointed guest suites, with the Eleven commitment to unparalleled service and comfort ready to welcome you.

There are four to five full-day river sections to enjoy, each with a variety of challenges and surprises, accessed by Hyde jet boats. Skating and twitching large dries like Fat Alberts and Chernobyl patterns can produce explosive strikes. Long riffles are ideal for pulling over and wading, and while dries can be effective, fishing one of our favorite pancora imitations on a long swing is truly deadly. For streamer aficionados, you will find the Palena to be one of the best rivers anywhere for trophy browns, and with the water so clear it’s often a visual experience that anglers live for. Included in your fishing adventure are Palena Canyon outpost and a riverfront outpost on the lower Futaleufu, a secluded haven that provides quick access up and down stream to magnificent stretches of the Futa. The exciting dragonfly fishing in Lake Yelcho, and big browns and king salmon in the lower Yelcho River are also well within reach. Add at least one day of helicopter fishing to remote lakes and streams, and you have the most dynamic fly fishing experience available in Chile. For non-anglers, or if you just need a day off from fishing, we offer mountain biking, hiking, rafting, canoeing, kayaking, sightseeing picnics, yoga, cooking classes and wine tasting, or just kick back at the lodge and schedule a soothing massage. And then you have the intangibles of the awe-inspiring Andean forests towering overhead, the sounds of the current rushing over centuries old boulders, a giant condor floating on a thermal over a glacier. It’s an atmosphere of tranquility and raw nature to appreciate and savor.
