The problem you already know
Your clients dream about Patagonia. While premium lodges charge $6,000–8,000 per week, a huge segment of serious fly fishers never books because they can't justify the pricing — even though they have the passion, the PTO, and the gear. That's revenue you're leaving on the table. La Pilarica delivers the same world-class experience at half the price.

What guests say
I spent 12 days at La Pilarica Lodge. The setting with the beautiful mountains as a backdrop was incredible. The food was wonderful and as good as any great restaurant I visited in Paris or in my home town of Los Angeles. I expect great fishing in Argentina, however, I was pleasantly surprised to discover La Pilarica. Frankly, it made my fishing trip very memorable.
— Guest from Los Angeles, CA
The lodge is very fishing-oriented but accommodates families perfectly. Highly recommended.
