Fly Fishing Along The Carretera Austral

Experience a truly exclusive fly-fishing journey along the Carretera Austral, designed for anglers who seek Patagonia beyond the maps. Chile Undiscovered grants access to private waters that few ever see — from the spring creeks of Ñirehuao inside a secluded estancia, to hidden lagoons around Cerro Castillo where trout rise in complete silence. We’ll also explore secret lakes and forest-lined rivers near Coyhaique, home to powerful brown trout and pristine wilderness untouched by crowds. Every location is carefully selected and protected, shared only with those who understand the value of keeping Patagonia’s best fishing spots confidential.

Route:
Balmaceda → Ñirehuao → Cerro Castillo → Lago Dorita
