About
Located in the heart of Chilean Patagonia near the quaint town of Coyhaique, Cinco Rios Lodge invites you for an unforgettable stay in an awe-inspiring corner of the world. Built on the banks of the Rio Simpson, the lodge provides spectacular views of the majestic Patagonian Andes an exclusive access to blue ribbon trout streams across ½ a million private acres. In addition to intimate productive creeks, anglers will fish larger rivers such as the Simpson, Paloma and Aysen. Remarkably, Cinco Rios Lodge guides continue scouting new waters within their private property so that veterans of Cinco Rios can return to fish new, exclusive waters.
Between the hospitality, comfort, exquisite cuisine, professional staff, and world class fishing, Cinco Rios Lodge offers arguably the best fly fishing in Patagonia, Chile.
