Laguna Larga
Laguna Larga - Esquel
In the heart of Patagonia, in the center of one of the greatest natural reserves worldwide, you may find Laguna Larga Fly Fishing Lodge, an ideal space for those who love fishing and good food.
The idea of Laguna Larga fly fishing lodge was first devised in France. Gonzalo Martínez –gastronomic chef and a lover of fly fishing- and his wife Laura – a professional in communication who loves nature - started thinking and working on a project wherein their greatest passions would be combined: gastronomy, fly fishing, the respect for environment, the love for nature and people.
Furthermore, they thought it should be located in a unique place in the world. Once in Esquel, they met Andres and Gisela Stewart, two business people who love wildlife, have a huge experience in business around the world and who wanted to invest in Patagonia.
Thus, Laguna Larga comes to life: an attractive and seductive lodge that has four spacious rooms to ensure a really comfortable stay and an excellent fishing with quality and variety. At the same time, it offers a high gastronomy service with handcrafted and homemade products, wines from the best cellars in Argentina; all of this situated in the Argentine Patagonia where you may go all over hundreds of kilometers, wade whole rivers, make float trips in lakes from one coast to the other without finding anybody.
Patagonia’s huge extension invites to different adventures and to fly fishing its rivers, lakes, lagoons and streams generous in salmonids and trout in all of its varieties.
The philosophy of Laguna Larga is to defend, look after and protect the natural environment in which it is settled, including fauna and flora. The fishing system will be fly fishing, barbless hook and obligatory “catch-and-release” in all the water and courses of the National Park and its surroundings.
Considered as the ideal place to enjoy a stay in an atmosphere where the majesty of the landscape and tranquility concur on an idyllic environment to carry out an excellent fishing and to contemplate a view that, leaned on the Andes, goes over numerous kilometers of islands and lakes.

The places and itineraries offered by Laguna Larga Lodge are equivalent to 40% of all the water mirrors and courses situated in the region of the Patagonian mountain range, that under the strict conservation policies and respecting the regulations imposed by the National Parks, provides the flyangler with a matchless paradise.
