Reservations and Rates

We were fishing Chile before it was cool.

Collectively, The Fly Shop’s travel staff has been fishing the streams and rivers of Chile for nearly seventy years. We’ve organized, arranged, guided and hosted anglers on trips to Chile, Patagonia for better than two decades. That knowledge and field experience has been invaluable in helping our clients choose the best dates, and has added a more custom-tailored finish to each of our reservations.

Our travel staff communicates regularly with all of our Chilean Outfitters. El Saltamontes is a Signature Destination of The Fly Shop and we have instant access to the lodge calendar and space available. Reservations can be made as far as two years in advance, and peak dates are often spoken for more than a year ahead of time. We can confirm your desired dates almost immediately, and guarantee that there are no other comparable packages available at a lower cost.

Please call, toll free, 800-669-3474, if you'd like to discuss particulars, choose from available dates, make your reservations, or talk more about El Saltamontes. Again, most of the staff at The Fly Shop has visited Gorronos operation, many of us more than once and we have thorough understanding of his operation. We have intimate familiarity and experience that can help you select the best times and provide you with complete and up-to-date information. Of course, we'll recommend the flies and tackle you’ll need and they're all available for you to order by phone, or on-line.

If you prefer to correspond on-line, simply e-mail us at travel@theflyshop.com and one of our travel specialists will respond promptly. We enjoy talking about Chile, Patagonia and sharing our enthusiasm and field-proven experience with you.

When to make your travel Plans to Chile:
The lodges and outfitters that we work in Chile are small, owner/operated and many of them are family run businesses. Their guest capacity is purposely small in order to deliver exceptional personal service. Our lodge’s limited capacity, as small as six and no larger than ten, results in space becoming tight, especially during high-demand months of January, February and March. Therefore, if you are serious about booking a trip to Chile it is important to secure dates at the conclusion of the current season; best in April, May or June. That is not to say that prime space isn’t available later in the year, but if you are set and going and want to secure pick-of-the-litter dates – book early!

After a verbal confirmation of your reservation you'll receive a short confirmation letter or e-message showing the dates of your stay, terms of the booking and an invoice showing the cost of the trip. A 50% deposit is normally due within two weeks of deposit. Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival. Deposits and final payments can be made with either a credit card (Master Card, Visa, American Express, Discover) or check.
