Chimehuín River
Estancia Tipiliuke
(FORMERLY CERRO LOS PINOS)
During your stay with Patagonia Outfitters you will want to spend 3 or 4 days at Estancia Tipiliuke, a 49,500-acre family-owned ranch that stretches along 8 miles of the Chimehuín river and 4 miles along the Quilquihue river. Both rivers famous worldwide for their fish and magnificent water.

Ideally located just a short drive from the attractive mountain town of San Martín de los Andes, Estancia Tipiliuke offers accommodation in one of the most sophisticated lodges anywhere:

Tipiliuke Lodge. The lodge has 6 exquisitely furnished double rooms, each with its private bathroom, comfortable living and dining areas and an attractive bar where experiences are shared every evening. The cuisine is superb. In addition to your Patagonia Outfitter's guide who will be with you every day, the lodge hosts, together with their friendly and efficient staff will see to your every request.

There is another house available for accommodation throughout the season. It is known as "La casa de Pablo" (Pablo's house). It is a charming house, ideal for groups of friends or families.
	The house has three more double bedrooms each with private bathroom plus comfortable living and dining rooms. The house is in a very secluded and peaceful spot, about a 100-yard walk from the Chimehuín river.

The Chimehuín meanders through the valley in Estancia Tipiliuke and forms numerous channels separated by small islands. We also fish stretches of the smaller Quilquihue river. Today the Chimehuín offers superb dry and wet fly fishing. It is challenging yet rewarding. Big browns are regularly caught as well as big surface feeding rainbows.

Tipiliuke is also a great place for guests who may be traveling with non-fishing spouses or the more casual fisher-person. Horseback rides and treks as well as sight seeing or even shopping tours can be arranged due to its proximity to San Martín de los Andes.
