Estancia Caleufu

Estancia Caleufú offers one of Patagonia’s most diverse sporting experiences, combining world-class trout fishing, exceptional free-range red stag hunting and unforgettable outdoor adventures for non-hunters and non-anglers. Fly fishermen enjoy exclusive access to the pristine Caleufú River and the intimate Chulchiuma Creek, where wild brown and rainbow trout thrive in waters that flow entirely through private property.

Depending on the season, anglers can float expansive river sections from drift boats, stalk trout on foot with dry flies or streamers, or explore secluded spring creeks virtually untouched by other fishermen. During the roaring fall rut, hunters pursue trophy red stags across rugged mountains, open valleys and native forests, often on horseback with experienced guides.

Guests not participating in fishing or hunting can experience authentic Patagonian estancia life through horseback riding, hiking, wildlife viewing, birdwatching, photography, traditional gaucho experiences and leisurely afternoons enjoying one of the most spectacular landscapes in South America. 

Designed to reflect the warmth and heritage of a traditional Patagonian estancia, Estancia Caleufú offers comfortable accommodations without sacrificing authenticity. The property features a main lodge with four ensuite guest rooms, complemented by two nearby guest cabins, each offering two additional bedrooms, for a total of eight guest rooms, each with a private bathroom.

After a day afield, guests gather in the inviting living room, spacious dining room and fully stocked bar before sharing stories around the outdoor fire pit. Meals are a highlight of every stay, with hearty three-course lunches and dinners showcasing estate-raised beef, lamb and venison, fresh seasonal vegetables and regional wines.

Whether returning from the river or the mountains, the combination of genuine hospitality, outstanding cuisine and breathtaking surroundings creates the quintessential Patagonian lodge experience.
