Located just minutes from the airport of San Martín De Los Andes (Chapelco - Patagonia), Tipiliuke lodge is located in the heart of a 50,000 acre working cattle ranch. Tipiliuke offers just 9 rooms allowing for the staff to provide very personalized service with exceptional attention to detail.
Fly fishing is what put Tipiliuke on the map more than 20 years ago. Considered by many to be one of the worlds’ top fly fishing destinations, Tipiliuke, in Northern Patagonia, is home to more than 17 miles of the finest trout waters on the planet (including 9 miles of the well known Chimehuín river).
Tipiliuke guides are the best in the business and can be found at hot spots all over the world after our local season closes. Tipiliuke was the recipient of the prestigious Sporting Classics Award of Excellence as the world’s top fishing lodge for 2011 and Lodge of the Year by Anglers Choice Awards in 2014.
