Nestled in the heart of the Andes at forty two degrees South Latitude lies a Lodge appropriately named after the towering mountains of Southern Chile known as the Los Torreones.
The Los Torreones Lodge is ideally positioned near the confluence of two of Chile's most southern and famous fly fishing rivers, the Rio Simpson and the Rio Manuhuales. Perched on a bluff overlooking the Rio Simpson, anglers are provided with their own private stretch of dry fly fishing bliss.
In addition to these two gems, opportunity for the angler to fish other renowned Chilean Rivers is not far away. The Nirehuao, Paloma, and the Coyhaique Alto are sure to provide a match for the avid fly fisherman. All are found within a short distance and carry the sportsman through some of the most spectacular scenery Chile has to offer. Angler's itineraries are customized for individuals and may include wade fishing, or angling from western style drift boats or specially designed catarafts.
The Lodge and location epitomize a dream come true for the operator of the facilities, Pancho Salas. Pancho, a Chilean native, and long time resident of the 11th Region owned and operated the Baguales Lodge and Ranch situated on the beautiful Baguales River, a tributary of the Rio Simpson. Pancho's life portrays a movie for most anglers. He has "cowboyed" and guided the region for over 22 years giving him the experience, knowledge and respect in the area matched by few. A day on the river with Pancho provides the angler with stories and facts on Chile that no reader could find in in the best of travel books. Assistant lodge hands speak English and will take painstaking efforts to make sure your Chilean angling experience is unforgettable from the sport of fishing to the accommodations to the incredible gourmet food and wine to the earthy hospitality provided by Pancho, his wife, Alejandra, and the rest of the family and staff.
