Chochoy Mallin Lodge Heli-Fishing - Northern Neuquen - Up north from the famous fly-fishing region of San Martin and Junín de los Andes, remains the best kept secret among Patagonia fly fishing destinations. Remoteness has kept this region’s waters untouched by anglers. The numerous spring creeks, rivers, and high altitude lakes, full of wild rainbows, browns, and brook trout, are just waiting to be explored. After years of scouting the region the Chochoy guides were able to develop an expertise in the area and learn that simplifying access to the best fishing spots was key to the success of this program. With the lodge's Bell 407 helicopters we solved the access problems. And with the brand new luxury lodge, hosting only 8 anglers at a time, we created the ideal home base so that short heli flights take you to the best fishing waters. This unique program is something every adventurous angler should try. A very special treat! Email Stephen for details.

TLT Signature Destination - Golden Dorado Experience - Rio Parana & Ibera Wetlands - Enjoy two distinctly unique Dorado fishing environments and lodges in the same itinerary. A short 30-minute charter flight, included in the program, allows you to easily fish 3 full days at each destination.
The first location is the famous Ibera Wetlands, staying at La Alondra ’i Lodge, where you can fish endless miles of gin clear creeks, channels and lagoons with private access to this unspoiled natural environment. Then off you go to the Upper Parana River and Itati Lodge, where you'll have the chance to catch a truly once-in-a-lifetime golden Dorado. Every season, a handful of fish above 40 pounds are landed! This section of the river is the tailwater to the Yacyreta Hydroelectric Dam, with clear and stable water conditions. And a brand new third option is now available south of Ibera in the Isoro Wetlands. Staying at the new Jetu'u Casa de Esteros Lodge you can fish the wetlands marsh and the Parana River. Having access to the river also adds numerous species to challenge such as Pacu and Pirata at different times in the season. The first two options are the primary destinations, but this third option is available to substitute for one or the other if fishing is better here at the time of your trip.

The drive takes a touch over three hours, but you'll want to stop along the way (or we can arrange a private driver and guide) to take photos and hike into places like the Anfiteatro, natures acoustically designed amphitheater, where you can listen to local musicians playing guitars and flutes. You can also take the long way, through Cachi (great lunch spot), and up to Colome, the world's highest vineyard. Ask us about our first journey here 20 years ago.

San Carlos de Bariloche and Villa La Angostura - A TLT Signature Destination
Set on the banks of the magnificent Lake Naheul Huapi, Bariloche, as it is commonly known, is one of those rare places that has it all. We think of it as the capital of Patagonia, the land of lakes and rivers, the gateway to all the treasures Patagonia has to offer, from mesmerizing Andes views, to every sort of outdoor sport and adventure -- fly fishing, hiking, biking, trekking, horseback riding, water sports, golf, wellness spas, cultural connections, skiing and winter sports, and more. Think of the charm of Switzerland (Bariloche is a sister city to St. Moritz) in terms of the architecture plus mouthwatering chocolate shops on almost every corner. Fine restaurants serving Patagonian lamb and traditional "asados", artisan markets, fine silversmiths and leather-crafters, and a welcoming people that make you feel right at home.

Native forests of lengas and coihues turn the foothills a vibrant green in summer. Cruise ships and sailboats dot the main harbor.
