A unique experience - Excellence and exclusiveness for your company

  • Start Date : Request!
  • Duration:3 to 6 days
    Availability: 15 spots

Proposal

With nature in mind, the Lodge has an eco-friendly architecture where many precautions to protect and preserve the natural environment have been taken.

The Lodge is a mountain cabin with a rustic style, made entirely of wood, using mostly recycled logs from a burn forest from northern Patagonia.
This rustic style, is expressed in the walls and beams where you can see the grain and the imperfections of the wood, and how it respectfully blends with the essence of the environment. Wide open views.

There are six rooms in the lodge. Total capacity: 13 people. Ask for other optios in Patagonia for more people.

Fitz Roy: 2 corner Premium Suites rooms southwest oriented, with spectacular views of Mt. Fitz Roy towards the north, and the Vespignani glacier & Lago del Desierto towards the west.  (20 to 27m2)..

Glacier: 3 front-lake view Premium suites rooms located on the first floor of the lodge, west oriented, with stunning views of the Lago del Desierto and Vespignani Glacier. (From 17 to 24 m2).

Forest: 1 North oriented room with views to the Nothofagus forest. Two separate spaces that are join together by an interior door, one of the rooms can be arranged either as a cozy living room or as an extra bedroom (single/double).

All rooms have maid service included in the rate, and private bathroom.

Dinning

Fresh, natural, local. Grandma’s recipes. Together we can visit the veggie garden and why not, learn how to make some of the home made recipes?

Enjoy the meals in the dinning room with ample windows or in the living room next to the chimney or on the deck overseeing the lake with amazing views of the glaciers and Mt. Fitz Roy.

Trekking

For those who are in shape, the first proposal would be to reach de Lodge following a trail from the southern point of the Lago del Desierto , with one of our guides ( 3 hs trek ), while your luggage would be taken by boat.

Several options of treks may be considered: basically those than can take a couple of hours to treks that can be as long as one desires, that’s up to you.

Every evening before dinner we get together to plan the following day activities , which can combine either treks or boat trips.

Fly Fishing - CATCH AND RELEASE

A dream place for the fly fisherman who wants to be left on an isolated shore ready for the challenging trout

Guides can be hired for the day.

LAGO DEL DESIERTO

The lake, it is 12 km long, surrounded by natural forest all the way to the edge of the water. It offers a variety of beaches and wide bays for long and short casting.

Along the whole way you will have the view of the Mt. Fitz Roy and Vespiganani Glacier.

The options of different bays permits to choose the right spot depending on the wind conditions.

It is recommended to use fishing pole of 4/5, floating lines, long tappered leader of 9' for better results.

We use dry flies and nymphs, the ones that will work the best are the “prince”, “zug bug”, the “green machine” and to have fun the “chernobill”

There is good fishing in the lake. You can catch the rainbow trout or the brown trout of 1 to 2 kg average.

Big cliffs can be found in the lake shore, offering deepwater, a perfect spot to use sinking line that might give you a nice surprise.

After a great fishing day you will have a cozy and comfortable place with good wine, delicious meals and great company waiting for you.

The road goes 35 km along the river.  You can find rainbow trouts.

From the beginning of the river in the Lago del Desierto to the confluence with the Toro river must catch and release and only one hook without barb must be used.

Difficulty graduation

Mochila: Peso / Duración de la Jornada.

Exigencia Física

Técnico: Dificultad en el Terreno / Equipo.

Fortaleza Psicológica

Exposición a la Altura

Backpack (M)

This point has to do with the weight that we must carry in our backpacks. Trekkings or crossings where we have pack animals allow us to bear less weight on our backs. And the multi-day journeys in Patagonia (without the option of having pack mules) generally make us carry more weight, especially in the early days.

20% Up to 5 Kilos: Short excursion walks / Trekking Talampaya

40% Up to 8/10 Kilos: Round-trip trekking / Vallecitos 3 and 4-day programs

60% Up to 12/15 kilos: Crossing trekking with porting / Crossing of the Andes Paso Portillo

80% More than 15/18 kilos: Cross-country trekkings with little or no portage / Trekkings in Patagonia (Paso Vuriloche, PN Lanin or Nahuel Huapi, etc)

100% More than 25 Kilos: With a lot of equipment on top and little or no porting / Continental Ice

Physical (F)

We consider physical demands to the wear that we can suffer both aerobic (climbs = possible shortness of breath) and muscle (resistance = many hours walking) and of legs and joints (descents = knees / ankles).

20% half a day or less with little unevenness.

40% more sustained slopes and longer days in the activity. 2-3 days / more than 6 hours per day.

60% Long ascents and descents with a longer duration. Ascents to more than 4000 meters in the central mountain range / intense 4-day trekking (Uruguayan plane)

80% Important work of legs in resistance. Very long days. Very long day ascents (Lanin - Domuyo) or more than 5000 meters. Ice courses.

100% Maximum demand. Aerobic work and constant effort on legs. Continental Ice, Aconcagua, mountains of more than 6000 meters.

Technical (T)

The technical difficulty is mainly based on the terrain. How much can it cost us to climb a slope, if it is very steep or if we have to use our hands in some section (simple climbing), both in rock and snow-ice, or materials such as crampons and pegs in other ascents.

20% flat land

40% trails with moderate ups and downs. General crossing trekkings . Sierra de la Ventana, Córdoba, Patagonia, Cuyo, north, others. Classic ascents

60% Steeper slopes and trails. Possible use of crampons. Domuyo, Cordón del Plata, Cordillera Central.

80% Mixed terrain, with snow or ice. Alvear, Lanin, Tronador. Bolivia, Peru.

100% Highly technical terrain. Glacial transit and climbing in sections. Hill climbing with sections on slopes of more than 60 ° inclination

Psycho (P)

We maintain that this point, the psychological factor, represents a relevant factor. Each one needs a factor of conviction, confidence, self-control and will power to achieve a goal. And depending on the attitude with which we face distances, slopes, terrain and many other objective factors, we can achieve performance with very different results.

20% We will not be much affected.

40% This is a normal level of attention.

60% We require more motivation, enthusiasm and concentration.

80% The activity will require us to be very connected and convinced.

100% Maximum control and emotional-psychological performance.

Adventures (A)

It is the factor that, the height above sea level, influences us depending on the activity we carry out. Managing and overcoming symptoms caused by altitude is the key to this point

0% + sea level.

20% Up to 2000 masl.

40% + 2000 masl.

60% + 4000 masl.

80% + 5000 masl.

100% + 6000 masl.
