This package is specially crafted to connect you with both of our beloved basins within Nahuel Huapi National Park. It brings together the best of our Manso Camps and our Limay River Lodge, offering a seamless blend of two unique worlds. Available from 2 to 7 days, this adventure gives you access to the finest waters in each basin, carefully chosen according to the season and conditions of your visit.
As with all our camps, everything is included: transfers, camping and fishing gear, breakfasts, lunches, dinners, drinks, and refreshments. We guarantee one of the most exclusive outdoor adventures you will ever experience.
Our recommendation is a full week of fishing, with the option to take a rest day to recharge or enjoy non-fishing activities. Whether you are an experienced angler or trying fly fishing for the first time, this package is safe, expertly organized, and ideal for families or groups of friends. Booking is simple, and every detail is thoughtfully arranged.
Camp & Lodging Life
Our camps are set in established, well-equipped campsites throughout the Manso Basin. Each multi-day trip is designed to follow the season’s most productive waters, ensuring a rewarding experience. Depending on the length of your stay, your itinerary may include stretches of the Middle and Lower Manso as well as some of the basin’s breathtaking, highly productive lakes. Every day brings you to new waters and fresh opportunities.
On arrival, you’ll be welcomed with fine wines, cocktails, and a generous dinner by the fire. Nights are spent in spacious private tents outfitted with NRS cots, air mattresses, warm sleeping bags, pillows, and side tables. For added comfort, we host just two guests per six-person tent. Dedicated dining, kitchen, and shower tents ensure a cozy, enjoyable stay regardless of weather conditions.
The lodge will be entirely private for your group and consists of two cozy cabins, each with its own private bathroom. One cabin features a single bedroom, while the other offers two bedrooms, providing flexibility and comfort. Nestled right on the riverbank, the property offers stunning views and a truly beautiful setting to enjoy.

Your itinerary is arranged to minimize driving times and maximize time on the water. Fishing in both basins typically begins around 9:00–10:00 AM, with the morning session running until about 1:00 PM. We then pause for a well-deserved riverside lunch before the afternoon session, which lasts until 4:00–5:00 PM. From there, we return to camp (Manso) or the lodge (Limay), where our support team will have everything ready for you to relax and enjoy a freshly prepared dinner beneath the Patagonian sky.
Each morning begins with a hearty breakfast before setting out for another day of fishing, moving from one stretch of river to the next. This rhythm continues throughout the trip, with every day bringing new waters and unique experiences. On the final day, we return to Bariloche and take you back to your accommodation or designated 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.
