Pulmarí and Aluminé Rivers
Piedra Pintada Resort

One of Patagonia Outfitters’ latest attractions is the new development on the Pulmarí River Valley : “Estancia Piedra Pintada”. The unique outcropping of volcanic rock studded with ancient araucaria trees punctuates the incredible setting where Piedra Pintada Resort has been recently built.

The pristine waters of the Pulmarí Lake dominate the landscape and the view from absolutely every room in this 5 star resort. Here you’ll enjoy luxury and comfort in one of the most unique places on Earth. Not only for the variety of fishing opportunities but also the uniqueness of a diverse eco-system that contains forests of pre-historical araucaria trees with cedars, beech trees and profuse vegetation in an environment of wet-lands and marshes that are home to numerous species of birds and water-fowl.

Fishing is either in the slow and meandering upper Pulmarí river; the Lower Pulmarí, very different with its rocky stretches and faster and countless pocket fishing opportunities where wading is more challenging and reminds us of some sections of the Traful. Lake Pulmarí also has a rich, good size, brown trout population since its nature makes for a very favorable habitat for all kinds of water life. It has many rocky, shallow spots that are very fishable, as well as various areas with reeds. Ideal for more relaxed fishing from a raft or a McKenzie boat. The resort is only 10 miles away from the well-known Aluminé river providing yet another fishing alternative, floating the great Aluminé river.

Piedra Pintada is the most luxurious lodge in Northern Patagonia, providing lodging in twelve double rooms each with their private bathrooms, comfortably and elegantly furnished sitting, dining, reading and bar areas.



There are also relaxation facilities available for guests, such as a beautiful indoors swimming pool overlooking the lake, sauna, massage room, and gym equipped with treads mills and stationary bikes.

Piedra Pintada is ideaL for guests traveling with non-fishing spouses or the more casual fisher-person who will enjoy the wide variety of activities offered. Horseback rides, trekking, biking, bird watching, and touring the National Park or visiting the nearby native communities.
