Kautapen
The Lodge
Kautapen has more history than any other lodge in Tierra del Fuego and for sea run browns there is no better place on the planet. No where else will you find this unique blend of luxury, tradition and fishing quality. The lodge sits on a prime section of water overlooking the Rio Grande and Menendez valleys. Twenty years of catering to fly fishing enthusiasts gives the lodge its distinguished heritage and the reputation as the premier destination in Tierra del Fuego.
It is a long trip from the States to southern Argentina. Most of the flights from the US to Buenos Aires are overnight flights arriving in the morning. Most people choose to overnight at least one day in Buenos Aires just to help with the jet lag and enjoy this beautiful and fun city.
You will then need to take a commercial flight to Rio Grande Airport. These flights usually leave in the morning. Please keep in mind that you arrive from the states in the international airport but you will leave for Rio Grande from the domestic Airport ( about 1 hour with little traffic - 2-2.5 hours if there is heavy traffic.) The Domestic airport is just about 20 minutes from the downtown hotels.
Once you arrive in Rio Grande you will be met by our driver in a four wheel drive vehicle for your 1 and a half hour drive to the lodge. You will have a chance to explore the grounds, organize your gear and get ready for the next day of fishing.
The Daily Program:
- Guests will leave the lodge around 9 o'clock after breakfast, fishing till around 1 o'clock.
- Following lunch and a siesta,(the hours of which will depend on the season) Guests return to the river between 5 and 6 o'clock and fish through till dusk. Fishing hours will change slightly depending on the time of year.
- Toonken has a team of experienced, professional international guides.
- They are all English speakers, and will be able to offer tips on how to best fish each pool, fly choice and presentation.
