There is nothing quite like the thrill of coaxing wild brook trout from a high Andean river, watched by condor and surrounded by snowey peaks. Fly fishing in Mendoza is the perfect opportunity to escape the crowds and enjoy pristine nature in all its glory. Fishing is possible throughout the year but the best months are from September to April. The rivers are two hours drive from the city and are mostly fast flowing mountain creeks in the high sierras. You will be collected at 8 am in Mendoza after which we will drive south for two hours until we reach La Carrera, a mountain road which connects Valle de Uco with the foothills of the Andes at an elevation of 2000m above sea level.
The day will be spent fly fishing at an Andean ranch with a private river.

We had an incredible day flyfishing in the Andes mountains.
Going up the mountains on the way to Valley De Uco we enjoyed the view of Embalse Potrerillos and the majestic view of the Andes.
After arriving to La Quebrada de El Condor we got prepared for a very special day of fishing. Our tour guides Daniel and Agustin were very helpful, kind and accommodating.
My husband and I were guided by Agustin, who shared with us his wonderful skills and was incredibly helpful.
We enjoyed a very special day in a beautiful place, listening to the sound of the mountain stream, seeing condors and catching trout. An amazing experience.
At the end of the adventure, we were treated to a delicious lunch prepared by a great chef, Hugo.
Thank you for making this tour possible and thank you to Agustin and all the team for all you do to make it so special. We highly recommend this tour.

This was the first time my boyfriend and I had been fly fishing and our guide Pablo made it a wonderful experience. Literally every detail was perfect. From communication and payment options, prompt pickup and drop off, excellent English translation, fun fishing experience with great instruction to ending the day with a delicious meal in the mountains. If you’re thinking about it, do it! Highlight of our trip.

We had such an amazing time. Pablo was so kind and helpful. We truly enjoyed ourselves and could not have asked for a better experience. I’m so glad we decided to book with your company. Everything was absolutely perfect and I’d highly recommend to any visiting Mendoza.

We were novices and our guides Pablo and Augustin were extremely patient, and really wanted us to have a great experience and catch fish.
We saw amazing scenery, and saw some guanacos (mini llama type animals).
Note that the lunch was more of a charcuterie board - not an asado lunch, but it was delicious

We did two days with Trout and Wine including wine tasting and fly fishing. It was AMAZING!! Renzo, our guide for the wine tasting was the best. We would go with him any day! The fly fishing made us want more. We would use Charlie and his team again!

Charlie managed to put together a wonderful day for me and my husband. Only my husband wanted to fly fish, so he found another guide to take me trekking at the same estancia. Perfect day for both of us.
He also managed to book horseback riding at the last minute and took me wine shopping on the way back to the hotel - amazing service!
Super easy to deal with and seems to be able to make any activity happen in the Mendoza area.

The Andes in Mendoza are incredible. It is evident that the air there is purer and the landscapes breathtaking. Sergio, our guide, is an expert and a great person. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience. I would go back a thousand times!

Thank you very much, it was a great experience. I really enjoyed it. Pablo and his colleague Sergio took great care of us. It was just as described: stalking small trout in a mountain stream at the estancia La Quebrada del Condor. We hiked quite a ways up the valley and I even got to see my first condor! And how can one not enjoy a fantastic asado afterwards.
