The Río Dorado Lodge is the only Government rated four star Lodge in Junín de los Andes. It is constructed in the architectural style of Patagonia. The native stone and log construction gives a cozy warmth to the rooms, the main lodge, the fly shop and the traditional Quincho. |
The double and triple rooms have a generous entry, approximately 400 square feet of space in the bedroom areas and large bathrooms, complete with shower tubs, and heated towel racks. The bedrooms´ large windows provide views of the lovely grounds and access to the wonderful clear air of Patagonia. Special attention has been paid to assure that the queen and king Simmons beds are of highest quality and that all sheets, towels and comforters are of equal high quality. Linens and towels are changed daily while the rooms are being thoroughly cleaned. Laundry service is also available. Rooms are furnished in traditional Patagonian style but contain all modern conveniences including national and international direct dial and internet telephone connections, DirecTV, refrigerator, and loads of space for clothes, fishing or ski equipment, etc. |
The main lodge is also constructed in the Patagonian style with plantation pine and native stone. The dining area is the central meeting place every morning for the “best Breakfast in Junín” which includes, fresh fruit, homemade breads, jams and jellies, breakfast cereal, yogurt, farm fresh eggs as you like them, and bacon. Every morning this is available to guests-complements of your hosts. Lunches and dinners can be arranged for guests by request and all meals are home cooked to order and include Argentine wine or beer if desired. |
The Quincho is a special gathering place that is uniquely Argentine. In the great walk-in fireplace the traditional “Asado” is prepared. Once a week guests are treated to an “Asado” which features local specialties such as lamb, red stag, young goat or trout all grilled or barbecued in the great fire place. The fine wines of Argentina are a perfect complement to the feast and the relaxed pleasures of an “Asado”. |
A complete Fly Fishing Shop equipped to meet any fly fishermans´ needs is available on Lodge grounds. |

On the beautifully landscaped seven acre grounds of The Río Dorado Lodge is a large swimming pool surrounded by an extensive patio. The summer days are long and invariably full of sunshine making the pool a perfect place to relax with a swim, a sunbath or a drink. |
As your hosts, we want to assure you that every effort will be made to give you one of your most memorable holidays when you come to stay with us in beautiful Patagonia. We first came to Junín in 1970. A group of us founded the prestigious ASOCIACION ARGENTINA DE PESCA CON MOSCA (The Argentine Fly Fishing Association) in 1974. In 1984 we moved our family to Junín and opened the first fly fishing shop in Argentina dedicated solely to serving the needs of fly fishermen. In 2001 we opened the beautiful Río Dorado Lodge. Now, we can offer you the finest in accommodations, great fly fishing, and other terrific leisure activities based on our many years of experience in Patagonia and our dedication to serving our guests´ needs. Marta and I would like to share with you a few of the many notes in our guest book: “Haberme encontrado con vuestro mini-paraíso hizo mi vuelta a mi querido país una experiencia inolvidable. Gracias por vuestra amabilidad y calor, son todos Uds. un ejemplo de las cosas bien hechas en Argentina.” Luis Lombarda “I Have fished all over the United States for 40 years but I had my best fishing day ever here on the Chimehuin.
