Authentic Customized Patagonia
Fly Fishing Experiences Since 1985

More than 40 years ago, our family pioneered the first fly fishing lodge experience in Patagonia’s Chubut province, choosing an inspiring location on a bluff overlooking the trout-rich waters of the famed Rio Futaleufu. Still today, our family’s tradition of introducing anglers to world-class fly fishing and warm Argentine hospitality continues stronger than ever, and we look forward to adding you to our always-growing list of guests who arrive as clients and leave as friends.

Fly Fishing With El Encuentro

Patagonia is famous for its world-class fly fishing. El Encuentro’s deep roots in the province of Chubut have allowed us to develop the most robust and diverse fishing program in this area. Our access to exclusive waters and the knowledge and experience of our veteran guides set us apart.

Experience Argentine Patagonia

Most of our guests come from countries far and wide, and we love nothing better than helping them plan the ideal fly fishing trip, while also making travel easy and comfortable. Perhaps you want to fish every day for more than a week? Maybe you want to fish for several days, but then go birdwatching or hiking in one of our stunning national parks. Maybe you’d like to explore Buenos Aires at the start or end of your time at El Encuentro. We are ready to help you plan the perfect trip for you, your group, or your family.

Fly Fishing… And So Much More

Fly fishing is at the core of who we are — but we know that the most memorable trips involve more than just the fishing. It’s the places and the people — and sharing those moments with our El Encuentro family — that will stay in your heart and mind for years after. Our trout fishing is world-renowned, but it’s also our vibrant culture and friendly people that we’re excited to share with you throughout your trip.
