Trevelin + Esquel Program

Walk & Wade Experience

The Trevelin/Esquel region is incredibly rich in diversity when it comes to our fishable water. Our signature lodge is situated just south of the Los Alerces National Park. While most fishing in the park is ideal for float fishing, we do have an incredible amount of wade fishing on the eastern side of Trevelin. Spring creeks such as the Gualjaina and Arroyo Pescado are some of our guests favorites for dry fly fishing and huge numbers of fish. We always make sure to rest our water so that guests are fishing for trout that have not had pressure for over two weeks. For a detailed description of our rivers in the Trevelin/Esquel region, please visit our Rivers page.

“If an authentic Argentine experience is on your bucket list, the PRG South program is where it’s at.”

Whiskey Bar

PRG’s Lodge at Trevelin has a wonderful scotch and whiskey bar. We started the PRG Whiskey Club as a fun way to bring in a variety of spirits that everyone can enjoy. You can try a new whiskey or enjoy an all time favorite. Simply bring a bottle to add to the collection and that grants you access to try our incredible variety of whiskeys from all over the world. If you don’t bring a bottle, that’s ok, you are welcome to purchase each whiskey by the glass. The whiskey bar also includes Cuban cigars available for purchase. Nothing beats whiskey and a cigar after an unforgettable day on the water.

“Contra Corriente has three varieties of cool climate wines: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Gewürztraminer.”

Lodge at Trevelin

Contra Corriente

Adding a vineyard to the PRG scene was an ambitious but realistic dream by owners Rance Rathie and Travis Smith. With hard work and persistance, the dream is now a fully operational bodega and vineyard. Contra Corriente (Against the Current) was born with the first vine plantings in 2014. The first wine was produced in 2018 and bottled in a temporary winery by the owners and their families. The types of wine Contra Corriente focuses on are Pinot Noir and whites, specifically Gewürztraminer and Chardonnay. Contra Corriente grapes are like no other and make outstanding wine because they are grown in colder than usual weather. The cooler climate of the south gives the grapes unique subtle and complex aromas and flavors you cannot attain in warmer weather.

Spa + Wine Tasting

PRG Lodge at Trevelin has added a beautiful spa equipped with a sauna, massage room, wine tasting room, hot tub, and a full outdoor bar. The spa deck offers everything but an ordinary view. Guests whether anglers or non anglers can now unwind with a massage, a soak in the hot tub or simply enjoy a cocktail and a view of our new and expanded vineyard.  Guests are welcome to have a wine tasting of Contra Corriente wine at the spa. During your wine tasting, our wine expert will be with you describing exactly what takes place during the wine making process and what is required to protect the grapes in the cooler climate of southern Patagonia.

PRG Difference

Why book through PRG

We encourage you to explore all of the benefits available to you when booking directly through PRG.  There is a difference. Make the most of your time and money and trust PRG to produce the best trips possible in Argentina. Guests who book direct with PRG will be provided:

There is no denying that our guides are the best in Argentina. Our staff of guides have been trained over the past two decades by PRG owners Rance Rathie and Travis Smith, professional guides born and raised in Montana. All guides speak English, are up to date on all safety training and are expert oarsmen and anglers. Many of our guides have been with us since the beginning which is a true testament to their passion for guiding and the PRG family.

Each guide is provided an assistant guide and you receive 1:1 guiding while wade fishing. This is a significant upgrade as both anglers will be able to fish independently and enjoy the luxury of single guiding. Assistant guides participate in a rigorous 4 to 6-year apprenticeship program, ensuring that all new guides are professionally trained and of PRG caliber. Consider them your concierge for the duration of your trip and enjoy a luxury not provided by other outfitters.

When you book directly with PRG, you are not tied down with limited water access provided by the estancia or lodge. Over the years, we have built a network of private water accesses — exclusive to Patagonia River Guides. No matter which lodge or estancia you book through PRG, we provide additional river access making your experience much more diverse and infinitely more productive. 

Guests at PRG enjoy a super-inclusive program and are always provided the industry’s top fly fishing gear and equipmentat no additional cost.  We provide Simms waders, boots, and other accessories.  We also provide Winston fly rods lined up on our custom Abel reels.  We also provide all flies, leaders, and tippet throughout your stay so you always have what you need, when you need it.  We also provide all lodging, food, beverage, license, and more. For those that love to travel light and want to skip the headache of checking fishing gear, you have that luxury when booking with PRG!

Argentina is a massive country and we have an incredible variety of water to fish spanning 600 miles North to South throughout the best parts of Northern and Central Patagonia.  With lodges strategically located in Rio Pico, Trevelin / Esquel, and San Martin / Junin de los Andes Regions, guests can easily fish a different river daily for up to three weeks.  For this reason, we recommend all of our guests to try a “combo” trip. With over a dozen lodging options in three regions, a combo trip will allow guests to see and fish much more of Patagonia.

When you book with PRG, our travel team will handle all logistics and travel to make your booking experience effortless and seamless.  We provide excellent communication and have a full in-house travel staff standing by to book every aspect of your trip from your doorstep to ours.  We provide the most comprehensive pre-trip packet ever developed for Argentina and work with top travel professionals in the USA and Argentina to everything for you – at no extra cost.
