General Information
Our multi-day camps on the Manso — ranging from 2 to 5 days — offer the ultimate fly fishing adventure in the heart of Nahuel Huapi National Park. Everything is included: transfers, camping and fishing equipment, breakfasts, lunches, dinners, drinks, and refreshments. We provide one of the most exclusive outdoor experiences.
The area we most enjoy for camping and fishing and the one we recommend the most is the Middle Manso. Fishing here is generally better, especially in terms of trout sizes, compared to the Lower Manso. Multi-day camp trips are designed to follow the season’s best waters and adapt to conditions, ensuring the most productive experience possible.
Each day, we fish some of the region’s most renowned rivers, channels and lakes. After a full day on the water, you’ll arrive at camp to enjoy fine wines, cocktails, and a hearty dinner.
Camp Life & Accommodation
Whether you’re an experienced angler or a beginner, our camps are safe, expertly organized, and ideal for families or groups of friends. Booking is simple, and every detail is taken care of.
When you arrive at camp, you’ll be greeted with fine wines, cocktails, and a generous dinner by the fire. Nights are spent in spacious private tents equipped with NRS cots, air mattresses, warm sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, and side tables. For extra comfort, we host just two guests per six-person tent. Dedicated dining and kitchen Tents, and warm water showers and bathrooms ensure a cozy and enjoyable stay in any weather.

The Manso Basin lies about 50 miles from Bariloche, with travel times typically around an hour and a half. We meet at 8:00 AM at a designated point in Bariloche before heading to the river.
Fishing begins around 9:00 AM and continues until about 1:00 PM, when we pause for a well-deserved riverside lunch. The afternoon session runs until approximately 4:00–5:00 PM, when we reach camp. There, our support crew will have everything ready for you to relax, unwind, and enjoy a freshly prepared dinner under the Patagonian sky.
The following morning, after a hearty breakfast, we set off from camp for another day of fishing, eventually reaching the next campsite. This rhythm continues throughout your journey, with each day bringing new stretches of water and unique experiences. On the final day, we return to Bariloche and take you back to your accommodation or meeting point.
FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t own fishing gear. Do you provide it?
No worries—we provide everything you need. All equipment is included and tailored to the waters you’ll be fishing, including rods, reels, lines, and flies.
Do I need to know how to fly fish?
Not at all. Our guides love introducing newcomers to this fascinating sport and will do their best to help you land your first trout on your very first fly-fishing experience. Alternatively, most of the waters we fish are also suitable for conventional spinning gear.
I’m vegetarian/vegan. Do you offer alternative food choices?
Absolutely. We’re happy to adapt meals to your dietary needs. Just let us know about any preferences or restrictions in advance, and we’ll make sure you enjoy the food as much as the scenery and the fishing.
What personal gear should I bring?
We provide all fishing equipment, food, and beverages. You should bring:
- Sunglasses (essential for both safety and comfort while fishing)
- A warm layer, as Patagonia’s weather can change quickly
- A hat and sunscreen for sun protection
My partner doesn’t want to fish. Can they come along?
Of course! They can relax and enjoy the stunning scenery and delicious food. And who knows—after a day surrounded by Patagonia’s beauty, they might even be tempted to give fishing a try.
