Rio Palena Lodge

Chile’s ultimate fishing and multi-sport destination for anglers and couples. N estled against a lush green hillside in a stunning Andean valley on the banks of the Rio Palena, Eleven Experience’s elegant Rio Palena Lodge is one of Patagonia’s finest fly fishing and adventure retreats. Professional guides will introduce guests to a wide range of super-productive rivers, streams, and lakes in this remarkable region. Guests interested in additional experiences can enjoy fully-guided hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and boating excursions as well as cooking classes, yoga, wine tasting, and massage. The lodge accommodates 14 guests per week in seven guest suites, with special attention to comfort and service. In addition, Eleven’s riverfront outpost on the lower Futaleufú River provides quick access to magnificent stretches of the river, along with the exciting dragonfly fishing in Lago Yelcho. For truly remote angling, guests can schedule a day of heli- fishing to access trout that have rarely, if ever, seen a fly. Rate: $7,350 per person for an 8 night/6 day package
