CLICK HERE to Download Brochure PDF  The River & EnvironmentThe Sea Trout fishing in Southern Argentina is legendary and for many the Rio Grande epitomizes this. Situated in Tierra del Fuego, (Land of Fire), it is in as remote and isolated an area as you can imagine. Apart from the other fishing lodges there is little in the way of human habitation with sheep being the primary inhabitant in this part of the world.
The FishingThe Rio Grande needs little by way of introduction with fish averaging 10 lbs in weight with specimens over 30 lbs caught each season. Villa Maria has offered small private groups exciting fishing on some of the most productive pools in the lower river since 1994. A very different fishery to Kau Tapen or Toon Ken on the upper river, Villa Maria is a double handed fishermen's dream, enjoying the first crack of the whip at newly arrived sea trout. The Lodge
Villa Maria is the second of the de las Carreras family Lodges to open on Rio Grande after Kau Tapen. The lodge is located in a renovated farmhouse within the working estancia Jose Menendez and is just a short drive from the river. Stylishly designed, supremely comfortable and with a friendly and dedicated house staff and guides, Villa Maria is well suited to caring for small groups of friends or family groups. Best Times to GoThe season lasts from December to April with the runs of fish being sustained throughout. Unlike salmon the fish will enter the river during all these months in equal numbers dependent primarily upon local conditions. During the months of Dec and Jan the fishing hours run later with a siesta being taken during midday to make best use of the magical dusk fishing hours. Getting ThereAnglers fly to Buenos Aires international airport and from there take the 3 hr flight to Rio Grande. You will be collected on arrival at the airport and transferred by four-wheel drive vehicle to the lodge, which takes approx 20 minutes.
