Chimalfe Patagonia Lodge
Luxury accommodations, fine Chilean cuisine, spectacular views, fantastic fishing experiences for large brown and rainbow trout—all best describe Chimalfe Patagonia Lodge. This modern lodge is nestled on a hill with a unique and stunning view of the headwaters of the Yelcho River in the Lake District of southern Chile. This location allows access to both the lake as well as fly fishing for trout on the Palena, Yelcho, and Futaleufú Rivers. Together, these three rivers offer endless miles of world-class streamer and dry-fly fishing to large, aggressive brown and rainbow trout. Following each fishing day, picture yourself relaxing on the lodge’s deck, taking in views of glaciers and the Andes Mountains, while enjoying a pisco sour or a glass of Chilean red wine planning the next day’s adventures.

The lodge was newly constructed lodge and build with anglers in mind. Comfortable bedrooms are uniquely set up to accommodate couples, singles, or double occupancy in separate beds. The lodge can accommodate 8 guests and each bedroom has a private bathroom. Fine linen sheets, top-quality duvets, and handcrafted furniture all add to the remarkable views from each room. Each room is equipped with luggage storage, heated towel rails, bath robes and closet space. A large deck with comfortable outdoor couches and wood fire hot tubs are also available to guests. Wi-Fi is available at the lodge, but there is little cell phone service. In the field, each guide will have a satellite phone in case of an emergency.
Chimalfe Patagonia prides itself on offering the best possible fine dining experience. Their executive chef has an extensive and eclectic collection of recipes that we assure that will be a delightful for your taste.
Meals are served in the main dining room and are the fitting conclusion to a day of exploring the waters of the Yelcho Lake. The lodges chef’s are professionally trained and will cook delightful cuisine that reflects an international flavor made with the freshest ingredients. All the meals are served with complimentary Chilean wines. Should you have any special dietary needs, they are more than happy to develop a special menu for you.
Each day starts at 8:30 AM with a top-flight breakfast. When anglers are ready, they will be taken to the dock, 200 meters from the lodge or off in the vehicles to other rivers in the region. Riverside barbecue lunches are served around 1:30 PM with Chilean wine or beer. After lunch, you will continue to test your flies on Patagonian trout until you decide you are ready to head back to the lodge for the evening. Dinners are relaxed and are usually served between the hours of 8:30 – 9:30 pm with hors d’oeuvres served beforehand. The lodge offers local, traditional Chilean dishes paired with top shelf wines. During or after dinner you will make a plan for the next day with your guide. There are a variety of rivers and fishing situations that you will be able to choose from and adjustments can be made to offer activities tailor-made for each guest.
Yelcho Lake is located in the Lake District, southern Chile in the Palena Province. The lake is fed by the Futaleufú River and is one of the deepest lakes in Chile. It is a popular location for fly fishing enthusiasts who are rewarded with brown and rainbow trout that can be taken on dry flies, streamers and nymphs. To fish the different rivers properly (Palena, Yelcho, Futaleufú, and a few secret spots), you will need to carry a few rods rigged with specific flies and be ready to switch at a moment’s notice. If you get the opportunity to smack your foam dragonfly into the rings left by a feeding monster, it will be a take that sends shivers down your spine. Most of the fish in this region of Chile are extremely healthy and strong. The quality of the fishing can be beyond imagination.
Species: Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout and King Salmon.
