Bella Vista Lodge, Rio Gallegos, Argentina
The Rio Gallegos is situated in Patagonia, Argentina, just North of the Strait of Magellan and can be accessed through a flight to Buenos Aires and then a 3.5 hour hop to Rio Gallegos town by regularly scheduled flights.
Opened in 1995, Bella Vista Lodge is the most exclusive lodge on the Rio Gallegos, offering exciting fishing for giant sea-run trout as well as some of the finest dry fly brown trout fishing, on an intimate spring creek.
 A much bigger system than its sister river the Rio Grande, the Gallegos and its pools are far more varied in their character. Slow oily looking holding pools are interspersed with fast riffles and boulder strewn runs.
The Estancia owns nearly 50 kms of double bank private access fishing which is limited to a maximum of eight rods per week. Guided by one of a team of experienced guides, each pair of rods have only the the diverse wildlife of the river valley for company.
Bella Vista Lodge, now in its tenth season, represents un-paralleled luxury and comfort, from which to enjoy the best of the fishing on the river. Completely renovated in 1996, the charming Estancia is situated a five minute walk from the river at the heart of one of the largest working sheep farms in Patagonia.
Continually improved and added to, the lodge comprises 5 en suite bedrooms to accommodate a maximum of 8 guests, a comfortable living room, a large wading room and spacious complimentary bar; fully stocked with local and imported spirits, to toast the one that got away!
