Cinco Rios Chile Lodge - Patagonia, Chile

Cinco Rios Chile, located above the historic city of Coyhaique, is a full service lodge where we can house up to twelve guests. Our main Great Room invites guests to relax, swap angling stories and plan your next days' outting.

In the winter, escape from the Northern Hemisphere and head south to the peaceful depths of Chilean Patagonia. When areas of North America, such as Montana, are wrapped in a mantle of cold and snow, Chilean Patagonia basks in spring and summer warmth.

The season at Cinco Rios Chile runs from the first of December through the first week of April. The word awesome could very well have been created to try to describe this spot in the depths of the incredible Patagonian Andes. Their peaks, heavily encased in glaciers, protectively surround you like a parent's cape.

Peaceful and secluded, the Rio Simpson area is a birdwatcher's paradise for Andean condors, Chilean Southern-ringed kingfishers, eagles, ibis, torrent ducks, and parakeets. Tropical wild plantsabound: bamboo, fuchsia, lilies, honeysuckle, nasturtium, lupine, and mammoth rhubarb only begin the list.

Nature's wonders abound for fly fishers, photographers, and hikers. You encounter glaciers, tropical flowers pollinated by bees, and temperate rainforests without the dangers of poisonous snakes, spiders, and other creepy crawlies.

Explore the city of Coyhaique with it's woolen goods, other items, and historic places of interest.

Jay Burgin, Mary Jacques and Sebastian Galilea are owners of Cinco Rios Chile and invite you to share in this unique adventure. They and their staff will help you get there and enjoy a worry-free and memorable time abroad.

The Waters

Each of our guides has four or more years experience fishing and exploring these waters. They are both native Chilean and American. Our equipment includes jet powered boats, rubber rafts with high-back seats, Zodiacs with jet engines and good vehicles with trailers to reach all the waters we fish.

Streams and fishing in this area are within 45 minutes from Cinco Rios Chile. Many of the streams have seldom, if ever, been fished; some have been discovered only recently. The streams offer diverse fishing; incredible, exciting dry fly action; and, challenging sight fishing in pristine, clean waters. Some brown trout, only accessible by our jet boats because of limited roads, have never seen a dry fly. Large fish abound with many Browns over 18 inches.

On your way to nearby rivers and lakes, you may encounter local huasos or ranchers driving their cattle or sheep along the roads or into the hills. You might think you are lost in the wild west of days gone by until you realize a huaso may shuttle your boat with his oxen.
