All Inclusive Program
Fly from the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago to the El Tepual Airport in Puerto Montt, where a transfer will be waiting to take you to the Marcelo Marchant airdrome (La Paloma), where you will take a small plane to the Santa Bárbara airdrome just outside Chaiten.
At this airdrome, you will be met by Melimoyu Lodge staff who will drive you southbound along the Carretera Austral towards Hacienda Melimoyu. This scenic road trip will take approximately 3 hours, and you will be able to see extensive forests and pristine glaciers, as well as many lakes and rivers.
Upon arrival to the Melimoyu Lodge, you will receive a welcome cocktail and lunch and have some time to relax and recharge. Later this day you will get information on the dinner times and options,so that you can enjoy remarkable dishes made from locally-sourced ingredients, as well as our open bar. Depending on your arrival time to the Lodge, you may have some time in the afternoon to fish along the banks of the river near the Lodge.
Every night after dinner, the guests will sit down with the head guide to discuss the fishing excursions they would like to do the following day.
Visitors will wake up recharged after a night in our comfortable rooms, and will then enjoy a spectacular and abundant homemade breakfast.
You and your fishing guides will then take the road to an amazing river or lake, where your daily excursion will begin on one of our fully equipped fishing boats.
Lunch will be along the shore, where you will enjoy your meal surrounded by nature before continuing to fish. We will take the pick-up truck back to the Lodge for a well-deserved break before dinner.After breakfast, our guides will drive you to another of our fishing destinations that is 30 minutes from the lodge where we will get on boats and begin to fish floating.
Fishing here will be from the boats, but guests may also get off to take better advantage of the banks, streams and tributaries.
Lunch will be served near the river bank where guests may also fly fish for a brown, rainbow trout and also a Chinnok Salmon depending of the season.
After lunch, the fishing will continue downstream until we arrive to the loading point, where we will take the truck back to the Lodge for dinner, relaxation and recharging for another day of fishing.
You will have an early breakfast to fuel your last fishing day in the program.
Our guides will take you on a ride to a small river with crystal clear water. Thanks to its shallow waters, there are many parts of this river where you can fish from the center towards the banks, making for a comfortable fishing experience.
After a morning of fishing, we will take the truck back to the lodge for a delectable roasted lamb lunch, prepared using traditional roasting techniques, and accompanied by salads, sopaipillas, Chilean wines and more.
Those who still have energy after lunch can fish in the river near the Lodge.
Then come back to the Lodge for dinner and relaxation.
