NON-ANGLERS
Patagonia is a land of adventure. When we’re not guiding or fishing ourselves, we fully embrace the outdoor lifestyle the area offers. We know the best options for non-fishing activities and can tailor these to fit the needs of each customer.
Optional activities include horseback riding, mountain biking, rafting, kayaking, trekking, bird watching, and day trips to visit glaciers and the Alerces forests, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In November, you can take stunning photos in the beautiful Tulip Fields, and in January and February, trek to the incredible Ice Tunnels on La Torta mountain.
Experience the charm of a bygone era with a ride on La Trochita, a century-old narrow gauge steam train once known as the Patagonian Express. Today, it delights tourists as a captivating attraction, offering a journey through history amidst the landscapes of Patagonia.
The Welsh and Native heritages are woven into the local culture and history of this part of Patagonia, providing a rich experience for guests who wish to incorporate cultural elements into their adventure with us.
