There are beautiful locations in the world, and this is one of them, and there are fascinating trips to do, but it is the people that make the difference. Thanks for being such wonderful hosts. We enjoyed our time in the water with Javi, Diego and Facu. The fishing was wonderful!

Rio Manso is the Patagonia of my imagination, even more amazing. The surrounding area is amazing and the fishing unbelievable but what makes your lodge exceptional is the people. These exceptional moments will be in my memory for a lifetime. I will be back.

I can’t express in words how wonderful the past few days –too few days- have been. The lodge is magnificent and it blends in so well with the surroundings. Every room and every vista captures the magnificence of the outdoors and brings it into the lodge. I have had the best fishing experience of my life. Muchisimas Gracias!

Thank You for the best fishing experience I have ever enjoyed. Rarely if ever has such an attentive and enjoyable staff and remarkable lodge been set against such a beautiful background with such incredible fishing. I can’t think of a more enjoyable way to spend the first days of the New Year.
