Lodging

Los Alerces National Park is the West Yellowstone of Argentina and offers the finest, least impacted angling in the country.

Anglers that choose a Los Alerces National Park Package are accommodated at one of two lovely Hosterías inside the park, Quime Quepan, or Lago Verde Wilderness Resort. The locations are spectacular, the service is excellent, and the food is good. There are a number of fine rivers nearby that are easily reached, including the Rio Rivadivia, Rio Frey, and several small streams.

For fishing the spring creeks, freestone rivers and lakes outside of the city of Esquel anglers will be lodged at Hostería Cumbras Blancas

Most of the guests at these hostelries are native Argentines, testimony to the quality of their operations. The few other guests at the lodges are fishermen, though freshwater angling is not a traditional sport in Argentina, and trout is not part of the normal diet. Catch and release angling is strictly enforced in Los Alerces National Park.

Hostería Futalaufquen:
Location: Lago Futalaufquen, Parque Nacional Los Alerces, Chubut - Patagonia Argentina
This waterfront four-star boutique hotel was built by well known Argentine architect Alejandro Bustillo. The setting at Hostería Futalaufquen is incredible and there is not a bad view on the property. The lodge lounge, anchored by a huge stone fireplace is and ideal place to get together, share a glass of wine and talk about your day’s fishing within the park. The hotel bedrooms are simple, and adequate (nothing fancy) and the views out the windows are spectacular

Lago Verde Wilderness Resort: (Hosterías Elaura)
Location: Lago Verde, Parque Nacional Los Alerces, Chubut - Patagonia Argentina
A wonderful rustic, yet surprisingly elegant wilderness resort, designed and constructed by famed eco-architect Alfred Zubiri, situated on the shores of Lago Verde, close to the Rio Rivadvia boca. The setting of this lodge is spectacular and the attention to detail of the construction and architecture and their relationship with the natural surrounds and terrain is phenomenal. Lago Verde is a must stay and a world-class destination lodge to base out of for fishing within the Los Alerces.

Hostería Cumbres Blancas:
Location: Esquel, Chubut - Patagonia Argentina
Esquel’s, nicest and shiniest Hostería, Cumbres Blancas is the perfect location to base from to access the spring creeks, rivers and lakes within striking distance of Esquel. The rooms are clean and modern, the restaurant quite good and the staff very helpful and courteous. Other services and amenities offered by Cumbres Blancas include a health club, massage, putting green, and buffet breakfast. Most anglers will combine 4 night, 3 days minimum angling out of Esquel and Cumbres Blancas with another 3 or 4 days of fishing in Los Alerces using one of the Hosterías inside the park.
