Discover Patagonia with CRL

Our Story

More than two decades building a Patagonian tradition.

Coyhaique River Lodge was born from a simple conviction: that Patagonia is best experienced up close, unhurried, and with people who have known its rivers, forests and seasons for generations. Two decades later, that same conviction still guides every season, every itinerary, and every guest who arrives looking for something more than a vacation.

Sage Experiences offers a curated suite of destinations that pairs world class fishing with state-of-the-art tackle. We are thrilled to present this exciting new destination demo program designed to offer guests an elite travel experience.

Everyone there went out of their way to make me feel welcome, and the three guides I had—Matt, Alejandro, and Walter—were the best. I can't say enough good things about them. The scenery is beautiful, and at times it was hard to focus on fishing because I was so captivated by the landscape as we moved along the Simpson River or wherever else we happened to be. Finally, I must give special thanks to Gaston, the lodge owner, who helped me find a dentist on short notice on my last day to take care of a painful tooth before I headed home. That is what I call going the extra mile.”

“A unique experience—one that, fortunately as a Chilean, I repeat whenever I can. The lodge offers excellent service, accommodations, and dining, but above all, world-class fly-fishing guides who really know their stuff; it’s impossible not to catch fish with them. Look for "Pity"—he’s the best!”
