| There are three ways to get to Carrileufu Valley Lodge, home of Patagonia Fishing Hosts, in Cholila, Argentina, starting out by air:
• For most travelers, flying through Buenos Aires, Argentina's glamorous capital (perhaps spending the night), is the most pleasant route. Once you reach Buenos Aires, your can continue on your own or enjoy the services of our partners with Swan Turismo (see box below map).
• From Buenos Aires, you have two options. One is a 2-hour flight to Bariloche (not shown on map area but located north of El Bolson). From Bariloche, Cholila is 2 1/2 to 3 hours driving. It's a beautiful drive to start getting the atmosphere of Patagonia.
&bull A second way is to fly from Buenos Aires to Esquel via Aerolineas Argentina, a 2 hrs and 10 minutes flight. The driving distance from there to the lodge is much shorter, about 1 hr and 30 minutes, through the Alerces National Park (where you will be fishing later on, so again, you get a preview).
There is one big difference between these flights: to Bariloche you have 8 to 10 flights every day on 2 different airlines, and to Esquel you only have 3 flights a week, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, on Aerolineas Argentinas.
In both cases, we will be waiting for you (assuming you tell us you're coming of course) to take you to the Carrileufu Valley Lodge. We have all 4x4 vehicles, and in case it is a big group we will arrange pick-up with a van.
