Booking
Rio Salvaje Lodge
Rio Salvaje Lodge is located on the banks of the magestic Rio Negro in the heart of the Los Rios region. Guests take a ferry from the town of Puerto Montt across the mouth of Reloncavi Estuary to arrive at the Lodge. Marvel at the lush valleys, towering mountains and of course the rivers that make up the heart of the angler's adventure. Few locations offer the diversity fishing that can be found in this region. Rainbow and brown trout beckon the serious angler.Rio Salvaje Lodge is located at the end of the road, reachable only by boat. The waters fished from the lodge are accessed by jet boats and by Rio Salvaje's fjord boat, “The Orca”. Anglers fish waters that have seen few anglers. They are untouched and are eager to rise to a well placed dry fly or attack a helpless streamer.
In addition to fishing, there are several non angling activities available at the lodge including:
- Esquestrian
- Hot Springs
- Saltwater Boating and Fishing
- Overnight Camping
- Vineyard Touring
- Shopping at Local Markets
Chile is famous for its multiple species fishing and Rio Salvaje is located in the heart of the best it has to offer. Rainbow and Brown Trout are the main species but there are also salmon running the coastal rivers. From isolated mountain streams to secret sites on the major rivers, Rio Salvaje's guides are the best in the business and will help you with as little or as much as you want. The rivers Negro, Blanco, Traidor, Esperanza, Del Este, Mariquita and Cholgo are just some of the area waters you can explore with your guide.
This is a fishing adventure that is worthy of the most expert angler and yet can be explored by the beginner. There is something for everyone at the Rio Salvaje Lodge.
