Dorado: Trip Description
The trip starts in Esquina Agentina in the north of Argentina. The latitude is equivalent to Florida and is warm year round. You will be staying in a beautiful ranch that was converted to a lodge when the owners children moved away from home. It is known as "Humbare" which means beutiful place. It is located on the banks of the Corrientes River a short drive from the town of Esquina.
To get here is a bit of a struggle, a long flight to Buenos Aires form the US and then a charter flight or bus ride to Esquina. Once there we will pick you up and deliver you to your room. If you arrive early enough we may have time to do some fishing.
Each day you will have breakfast at the lodge's dining room. Breakfast will consist of locally made breads pastries jams and cerals as well as fruit juice and coffee. Your fishing day will usually start around 9 am. After breakfast you will gather your gear and ead down to the dock to meet your guide. Most of the fishing is done from the skiffs but there are lots of opportunities to wade in this area. From the small creeks and lagoons to the huge river there is lots of fishing water.
Lunch will be prepared by the lodge and brough on board with you and will vary each day. It is served stream side by your guides complete with wine and beer. Occaisionally you will get a roast over the fire for lunch. If it is a hot day you may be take a short siesta under one of the many trees. You will fish till sunset when you return to the lodge. Have a little wine, chees and salami while you share the days ups and downs with the rest of your friends.
In Argentina is is normal to eat dinner very late. 10 pm is pretty common but the losdge is happy to serve dinne anytime you like. You will be served a variety of foods from some of Argentina's famous grass fed beef to some delightful local fish dishes. The dinners will include wine, salads, appetizer and dessert and coffee. If you are not familiar with Argenina wine this will be a special treat as it is one of the best values in the wine world.
