2025 Cinco Rios Hosted Trip

Big browns. Dry flies. Fun.

I'm headed back to Chilean Patagonia this upcoming March and have just a few available spaces. This is a unique trout fishing trip that is split between two different locations with an opportunity to extend three extra days of fishing for gigantic lake-run-browns further south.

Early this year my significant other Jennifer and I, with a couple friends, went to check out Cinco Rios offerings and were impressed with the amount of rivers they had access to. The package that we have put together is as follows:

The Best of Patagonia - 6 days / 7 nights

Cinco Rios operates two lodges, Estancia Del Zorro and Cinco Rios. This week is split between the two locations with three days of fishing at each. The first three days is spent at Estancia Del Zorro, a working ranch, approximately 1.45hrs from Cinco with dozens of miles of private spring creeks. If small, intimate waters with large brown tout is your thing, EDZ is your place! After three days of spring creek fishing we are transferred over to Cinco Rios Lodge in Coyhaique, Chile. Here we will float a variety of rivers for quality rainbows and browns. There are also stillwater opportunities for trophy trout in this region.

Date - March 8th - 15th, 2025
Cost - $6750 / per person
Availability - 3 spaces
Included - Lodging, guiding, food, ground transportation to and from Balmaceda Airport
Not Included - International / Domestic Airfare, gratuity, tackle. Guides have a limited amount of tackle in Chile, I always recommend traveling with your own. The lodge does have some tackle, but really all you need is 5 and 6wts… and if you are reading this far chances are you have those rods :)

Boca Cerrada (Lake Run Browns) - Optional Trip Extension for 3 Days of Fishing

For anglers wanting a shot at trophy brown trout this trip extension is where it’s at. After the first week of fishing we are venturing south (approximately 2hr van + 2.5hr ferry ride) to a river that receives large lake-run-brown trout. Here we will have the opportunity to swing and high stick streamers for MEGA fish upwards of 30 inches… like the brown pictured above! I would consider this similar to steelheading, there are no guarantees, but there is potential for a fish-of-a-lifetime. This trip is walk/wade only for anglers that are comfortable with hiking a boulder strewn river and casting 7 or 8wt rods all day… if you have a bad shoulder, or don’t like wading rivers, this trip is not for you!

Date - March 15th - 20th, 2025 (3 days of fishing, March 15th & 19th are travel days)
Cost - $3971 / per person
Availability - 2 spaces
Included - Lodging, guiding, food, ground transportation to and from Cinco Rios Lodge
Not Included - gratuity, 7 or 8wt rods. Guides have a limited amount of tackle in Chile and I do not recommend relying on their gear
