Set on the banks of its namesake river, Río Palena Lodge combines extreme remoteness, luxury outdoor experiences, and refined comfort in the heart of Patagonia. From the lodge, anglers can wade, float, or heli-access a remarkable system of rivers, lakes, and streams renowned for their formidable brown and rainbow trout. Beyond this diverse fishery, non-angling guests can also explore a wide range of experiences, from whitewater rafting and mountain biking to paddleboarding, scenic heli-tours, and more. Fabulously appointed, the lodge pampers guests with a level of comfort and attention to detail that rivals the adventure itself— featuring top-tier accommodations, premium amenities, and a robust food and wine program.

Invite your discerning clients to discover Iguazú Falls — an extraordinary series of waterfalls that span a breathtaking 2.7 km across the border of Argentina and Brazil. Wider than Victoria Falls and taller than Niagara, this awe-inspiring natural wonder is nestled within lush subtropical jungles that are home to jaguars, toucans and coatis —to name a few— plus thousands of plant species that thrive in the mist-filled environment. Approximately 80% of the falls lie on the Argentinian side, offering expansive and immersive vantage points, while the Brazilian side reveals panoramic views that capture the full grandeur of the falls. Far more than a typical sightseeing experience, Iguazú grants encounters with nature’s raw power and unparalleled beauty. Private guided excursions at dawn or dusk, thrilling boat rides beneath the roaring cascades, moonlit explorations, or helicopter flights that offer sweeping aerial perspectives, may all be part of a bespoke journey designed to your clients’ taste.
