La Posada de los Farios Lodge:
Established in 1994, La Posada de los Farios is located 2.5 hours north of Coyhaique, Chile on a small working cattle ranch overlooking the beautiful Rio Cisnes, one of Patagonia’s finest trout streams . The fishing is primarily for wild Brown Trout, hence the name: Los Farios, "fario" being the Chilean name for Brown Trout.
The mountain scenery is spectacular and the fishing options abundant. The lodge itself is the original ranch house, modified to comfortably handle a maximum of 6 anglers per week. We strive to maintain a relaxed "homey" atmosphere around the lodge, with delicious meals served family style, always complimented by fine Chilean wines, freshly baked bread and, fresh fruits and vegetables from our garden. An abundant shore lunch is prepared streamside by your guide and a steaming hot sauna awaits at the end of the day. A traditional patagonian style "asado" of fresh lamb is prepared by local "gauchos" as a final farewell celebration.
La Posada de los Farios Fishing:
Daily fishing options include the wading or floating the spectacular freestone Cisnes, hidden lagunas, spring creek tributaries, seldom-fished high country lakes and, excursions into the coastal fjords. Fishing begins at the doorstep, and travel to the fishing destinations passes through some of the loveliest country on earth. Dry flys are used most often but, both nymph and streamer techniques are employed when conditions dictate. It is not uncommon to see truly large Browns feeding on the surface. All fish are released. Virtually all of the angling is done in the shadows of the spectacular Andean peaks that form the Argentine border. The beautiful Queulat National Park is just to the north.
Non-fishing guests are welcome and can enjoy activities such as horseback riding, river rafting, birdwatching, excursions into nearby wilderness areas, or cultural visits to neighboring farms and villages.
The rural local people live a lifestyle that has long vanished from the North American continent and meeting them can often be a visitor's most memorable experience.
