Estancia Tipiliuke

Walk and wade the famous Chimehuin River surrounded by extraordinary luxury

A premier Patagonia destination for anglers and non-sporting travelers, this sprawling ranch property affords you on-ranch access to multiple stretches of the Chimehuin River and the nearby Collón Curá and regional spring creeks. Ideally situated for daily adventures on horseback, kayak, or trek, Tipiliuke tailors to the active traveler looking to explore Northern Patagonia and return to a welcoming staff, fine Mendoza wines, and exquisite Argentine and international cuisine.

Fishing

A mid-size freestone with deep willow-lined pools, the Chimehuin offers prime dry-fly and terrestrial fishing. The inch-worm hatch will stir your blood as large trout voraciously feed under the canopy. Guide knowledge is imperative here, and Patagonia Outfitters knows every rock and riffle.

Accommodation

Consistently voted a top boutique accommodation, this stately nine-bedroom wood and stone property is nestled in a grove on the working 50,000-acre estancia. Stone patios, wood burning sauna, massage room, and attentive hosts Mary Jo and Kevin allow you to relax in comfort.

Gear

Wide pools with productive “other sides” call for crisp 5/6 weight rods able to punch wind/distance and present a #16 dry fly. Weight-forward floating lines and longer leaders produce. A gear list is provided with confirmation package. Frontiers makes first-hand tackle and fly recommendations.
