How about a Pisco Sour to go with that trophy trout?
Fair warning: you might extend your fishing trip at Rio Palena Lodge. With a variety of full-day floats, backyard wading, helicopter-accessed beats, secret lakes, and waterside outposts, the “Fish on!” mentality here at our Patagonia oasis is nonstop. The whole program—from the seasoned guides and top-of-the-line boats to the delicious lunches and riverside access—rolls out the red carpet for all levels of anglers. Here, the trout are big, the water untouched, and the asado unbelievable.
