The new Victoria Is<strong>la</strong>nd National Lodge was <strong>de</strong>signed in <strong>the</strong> same architectural style as <strong>the</strong> original<br />

lodge and built on <strong>the</strong> same site. The new lodge has a wood and steel structure and is more<br />

mo<strong>de</strong>rn and spacious than <strong>the</strong> original.<br />

The lodge is <strong>la</strong>rge and luxurious, a comfortable mansion-retreat, built in c<strong>la</strong>ssical "An<strong>de</strong>an style." Its<br />

cypress woodwork, carved by sou<strong>the</strong>rn Chilean craftsmen, creates a warm atmosphere.<br />

THE LODGE<br />

The new lodge has facilities that were unthinkable half a century ago. The interior is three times<br />

<strong>la</strong>rger than that of <strong>the</strong> original lodge. Mo<strong>de</strong>rn materials and technologies, as well as <strong>the</strong> original<br />

stone-and-wood spirit, create a unique, comfortable environment. The lodge represents a crossway<br />

of globalization and ethnic regionalism.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> stone basement lies <strong>the</strong> wine cel<strong>la</strong>r, <strong>the</strong> only one for miles around. There is also a rich<br />

collection of Spanish, English, and French literature. Adults may enjoy smoking, drinking, or reading<br />

in <strong>the</strong> recreation room.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> main floor you will find <strong>the</strong> front <strong>de</strong>sk, living rooms with pa<strong>la</strong>ce-size firep<strong>la</strong>ces, <strong>the</strong> restaurant<br />

and bar, <strong>the</strong> terrace, and a meeting room with a home <strong>the</strong>ater and satellite TV.<br />

Also located on this floor is <strong>the</strong> spa, sauna, Jacuzzi, and heated outdoor swimming pool.<br />

Twenty rooms and two suites are housed on <strong>the</strong> top floor, each with a jacuzzi in <strong>the</strong> bathroom.<br />

Twelve rooms look toward Anchorena Bay, and <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r ten face Grimm's Forest. Smoking is not<br />

allowed in <strong>the</strong>se rooms, but it is permitted in <strong>the</strong> living room and <strong>the</strong> smoking room.<br />

ROOMS<br />

Is a lonely and exclusive mansion-retreat of twenty rooms and two suites.<br />

37


The twelve rooms overlooking Anchorena Bay provi<strong>de</strong> a view that is among <strong>the</strong> best in <strong>the</strong> world-<br />

an exceedingly beautiful <strong>la</strong>ndscape, penetrated by <strong>the</strong> afternoon sun.<br />

The o<strong>the</strong>r ten rooms, looking towards <strong>the</strong> morning sun and Grimm's Forest, are more intimate and<br />

quiet. At night, <strong>de</strong>er used to eat <strong>the</strong> roses in our gar<strong>de</strong>n and scratch <strong>the</strong>ir horns on <strong>the</strong> small trees.<br />

We had to take out <strong>the</strong> roses and protect <strong>the</strong> trees.<br />

All rooms combine <strong>the</strong> same taste for luxury and comfort that characterizes a "hotel boutique", with<br />

<strong>the</strong> informal atmosphere of a high Patagonian retreat.<br />

Rooms do not have televisions or mini-bars. There is a single <strong>la</strong>rge-screen television in <strong>the</strong> lodge.<br />

We provi<strong>de</strong> 24 hour room-service and self-service.<br />

All rooms have hydro massage.<br />

SERVICES<br />

The most iso<strong>la</strong>ted lodge in Argentina, this retreat is far<br />

away from cars, engines and noises. Wil<strong>de</strong>rness surrounds<br />

<strong>the</strong> lodge to <strong>the</strong> north, east, and south. Westwards <strong>the</strong>re is<br />

only <strong>the</strong> <strong><strong>la</strong>ke</strong>, <strong>the</strong> mountains, and <strong>the</strong> ever-changing<br />

sou<strong>the</strong>rn sky.<br />

The quietness of <strong>the</strong> outsi<strong>de</strong> penetrates <strong>the</strong> insi<strong>de</strong>. As <strong>the</strong><br />

lodge does not cater to families with small children, <strong>the</strong><br />

mood is peaceful and intimate.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> media room you can get online anytime or watch <strong>the</strong> <strong>la</strong>test world news by satellite TV. A<br />

home <strong>the</strong>ater with a wi<strong>de</strong> selection of movies is also provi<strong>de</strong>d.<br />

You can also get "unplugged" and explore <strong>the</strong> bookshelves of our library or listen to our <strong>la</strong>rge<br />

collection of c<strong>la</strong>ssical music and jazz.<br />

The is<strong>la</strong>nd's lodge is a welcoming p<strong>la</strong>ce for those who want to escape <strong>the</strong> civilized world as well as<br />

for those who don't want to escape it at all.<br />

We are experienced hosts for those who like to travel as well as for those who prefer to stay put.<br />

MEETING ROOMS<br />

Two meeting rooms with seating for 40 people offer enough space for small business meetings in<br />

an exceptionally safe and private location.<br />

ACTIVITIES<br />

Lovers of quiet, meditation, and contemp<strong>la</strong>tion don't need to stray but a few paces from <strong>the</strong> lodge,<br />

or <strong>the</strong>y may opt to stay in <strong>the</strong> library.<br />

For those who connect with nature through movement and action, <strong>the</strong> lodge provi<strong>de</strong>s <strong>the</strong> necessary<br />

equipment and gui<strong>de</strong>s. There are several means for discovery: asi<strong>de</strong> from your own legs, <strong>the</strong>re are<br />

horses, mountain bikes, neoprene suites and kayaks.<br />

Experienced gui<strong>de</strong>s suggest a daily variety of explorations around <strong>the</strong> is<strong>la</strong>nd, according to<br />

individuals' physical aptitu<strong>de</strong> and <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

By <strong>la</strong>nd -on foot, horseback, or on two wheels.<br />

By water -in kayaks, snorkeling.<br />

The purpose of <strong>the</strong> explorations is always <strong>the</strong> same: to discover <strong>the</strong> inner world of Victoria Is<strong>la</strong>nd.<br />

It's easy to get <strong>los</strong>t in <strong>the</strong> forests of both <strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>rn and nor<strong>the</strong>rn is<strong>la</strong>nd. Because of this danger,<br />

all explorations outsi<strong>de</strong> <strong>the</strong> central isthmus are gui<strong>de</strong>d.<br />

The 100 acres of Anchorena Bay and its inlet and inner harbors may be explored entirely by rowing<br />

small boats or kayaks.<br />

Horses may go as far north as Laguna <strong>de</strong>l Pescado and Puerto Turbina in daylong expeditions.<br />

With mountain bikes and using <strong>the</strong> chair lift to Bel<strong>la</strong> Vista hilltop, you can get as far as you can on<br />

horseback.<br />

Is<strong>la</strong>nd hikes may be easy and short, or of medium length and difficulty. For expert hikers, <strong>the</strong>re are<br />

<strong>the</strong> An<strong>de</strong>an peaks of almost 2,000 meters (6,500 ft) that face <strong>the</strong> is<strong>la</strong>nd.<br />

These different activities may be combined according to guests' needs. In daylong expeditions, an<br />

unforgettable "dèjeneur sur l'herbe" is provi<strong>de</strong>d.<br />

Location<br />

Arroyo Ver<strong>de</strong>" is situated in <strong>the</strong> foothills of <strong>the</strong> An<strong>de</strong>s mountain range, Neuquén Province, in<br />

nor<strong>the</strong>rn Patagonia, which is known as <strong>the</strong> Lake District due to <strong>the</strong> many <strong><strong>la</strong>ke</strong>s left behind by<br />

ancient g<strong>la</strong>ciers that rece<strong>de</strong>d some millions of years ago.<br />

From <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong> 20th century, this property has enjoyed very special environmental<br />

protection because it lies within a Natural Reserve that is part of <strong>the</strong> Nahuel Huapi National Park,<br />

one of <strong>the</strong> ol<strong>de</strong>st in <strong>the</strong> country.<br />

"Arroyo Ver<strong>de</strong>" nestles in <strong>the</strong> Traful Valley overlooking Lake Traful, which is <strong>the</strong> source of <strong>the</strong> river<br />

that runs beautifully through it.<br />

The “estancia”, Spanish word for ranch, is on <strong>the</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>rn si<strong>de</strong> of <strong>the</strong> river and occupies an area of<br />

12.500 acres. "Arroyo Ver<strong>de</strong>" with its fantastically varied flora and fauna, is <strong>de</strong>voted to cattle<br />

breeding and sheep-rearing.<br />

How to get <strong>the</strong>re<br />

Direct two-hour flight from Buenos Aires to Bariloche.<br />

From Bariloche airport, Arroyo Ver<strong>de</strong> is 1 hour drive.<br />

Climate and Clothing<br />

The best time to visit Arroyo Ver<strong>de</strong> is during our summer, November through April.<br />

The days are usually sunny and range from mild to hot. The nights are generally cool. It rarely rains<br />

in summer. April and May are also lovely months to visit and enjoy <strong>the</strong> fall colors; it can be a lot<br />

cooler at this time of year though.<br />

Dress is always casual. You will need clo<strong>the</strong>s that are<br />

comfortable for riding and suitable for fishing. Warm clothing and<br />

a waterproof parka are recommen<strong>de</strong>d, as mountain wea<strong>the</strong>r is<br />

ra<strong>the</strong>r unpredictable. Don‟t forget to bring your bathing suits! The<br />

water temperature of both <strong><strong>la</strong>ke</strong> and river makes swimming<br />

plea<strong>san</strong>t.<br />

ACTIVITIES<br />

Fishing<br />

The season is from November through April.<br />

The Traful is exclusively a catch and release fly -fishing river. At <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong> season, mid<br />

November, <strong>the</strong> river runs high and fast, becoming<br />

lower in December but usually with fast water till <strong>the</strong><br />

beginning or middle of January (<strong>de</strong>pending on<br />

wea<strong>the</strong>r conditions, especially <strong>the</strong> previous winter<br />

snows in <strong>the</strong> mountains), <strong>the</strong> river <strong>the</strong>n runs slow till<br />

<strong>the</strong> first rains of autumn. Its width varies from 60 to<br />

90 feet (20 to 30 meters).<br />

Fishermen will need chest wa<strong>de</strong>rs throughout <strong>the</strong><br />

season. Good boots with felt soles are a must<br />

because of <strong>the</strong> stones on <strong>the</strong> river-bed. Fishermen<br />

must bring <strong>the</strong>ir own gear as "Arroyo Ver<strong>de</strong>"<br />

does not provi<strong>de</strong> any equipment.<br />

The river is a typical mountain one with pools and<br />

rapids where <strong>the</strong> water runs pure and crystal clear<br />

for more than ten miles through "Arroyo Ver<strong>de</strong>". Parts of <strong>the</strong> banks are lined with bushes and trees,<br />

making fly-casting more exciting and sometimes a ra<strong>the</strong>r challenging task.<br />

Your favorite trout flies will be OK and you can add some streamers, wooly worms, wooly buggers,<br />

muddlers, etc. Nymphs are very efficient during all <strong>the</strong> season; small ones (12 to 14) can be as<br />

good as big ones like Bitch Creek or Montana Nymph (4 to 8). During <strong>the</strong> day <strong>the</strong> Spruce fly and<br />

<strong>the</strong> Mickey Finn are very good for <strong>la</strong>nd-locked salmon.<br />

For <strong>la</strong>te hours, a B<strong>la</strong>ck Bunny can be <strong>the</strong> best chance to get big brown.<br />

Dry flies -in sizes 6 to 16, Adams, Royal Wulff, Humpies- are a must in <strong>the</strong> Traful from <strong>the</strong> middle of<br />

<strong>the</strong> season onwards.<br />

The Traful is a very special river, it holds all different kinds if “salmonids”: rainbow, brown and brook<br />

trout, <strong>la</strong>nd-locked salmon and occasionally perch. Although <strong>the</strong> average weight of <strong>the</strong> fish is around<br />

3lbs. for trout and 4lbs. for salmon it is not uncommon to catch 7 to 10 poun<strong>de</strong>rs. 18lbs. salmon, a<br />

23lbs. rainbow and 16lbs. brown have all been caught recently in <strong>the</strong> Traful. Something to think<br />

about when you choose <strong>the</strong> tipper for your lea<strong>de</strong>r!<br />

OTHER ACTIVITIES<br />

Horseback riding<br />

The p<strong>la</strong>ce is i<strong>de</strong>al for many different horseback excursions.<br />

There are shorts an easy ones that are fun an allow you to see<br />

some p<strong>la</strong>ces you can only reach on horseback. Longer ones -<br />

<strong>de</strong>pending on how far you want to go -<strong>la</strong>st from half-a-day to<br />

many days (it is un<strong>de</strong>rstood that <strong>the</strong>se <strong>la</strong>st ones inclu<strong>de</strong><br />

camping). They will take you up <strong>the</strong> mountains where you can<br />

see lots of exciting things, such as real Indian paintings on<br />

cave walls and <strong>the</strong> majestic flight of <strong>the</strong> Condors.<br />

Trekking<br />

There are many natural paths to follow up and down <strong>the</strong> mountains, along <strong>the</strong> river and around <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong><strong>la</strong>ke</strong>. Some inclu<strong>de</strong> climbing so make sure you bring suitable shoes.<br />

Bird watching<br />

There are plenty of birds to be seen. The friendly Magel<strong>la</strong>nic woodpecker, <strong>the</strong> shyer torrent duck<br />

and <strong>the</strong> splendid condor are on <strong>the</strong> list.<br />

Sightseeing tours<br />

Sightseeing tour to neighboring locations can be organized upon request and has an extra charge.<br />

Picnics<br />

Summer temperatures allow you to p<strong>la</strong>n a whole day outdoors, which is <strong>the</strong> best way to enjoy <strong>the</strong><br />

peace and quiet of <strong>the</strong> p<strong>la</strong>ce<br />

Hunting and shooting<br />

Description:<br />

Welcome to our estancia..... Your home in Patagonia.<br />

In 1908 Don Juan Lagos Mármol was appointed by <strong>the</strong> Minister of Internal<br />

Affairs to investigate c<strong>la</strong>ims ma<strong>de</strong> by <strong>the</strong> settlers of Catan-Lil, a small town located in <strong>the</strong> province<br />

of Neuquén, 300 km southwest of Ea Río Quillén. Obeying or<strong>de</strong>rs, he traveled by train to Neuquén<br />

and from <strong>the</strong>re on horseback <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> way. After riding for a whole week he finally reached<br />

<strong>the</strong> town. While working on <strong>the</strong> investigation, he met Don Alejandro Arze, a local <strong>la</strong>ndowner, who<br />

mentioned <strong>the</strong> possibility of renting two private properties of 20.000 hectares each. Don Juan fell in<br />

love with <strong>the</strong> <strong>la</strong>nd and its people and <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>d to go ahead with <strong>the</strong> rental. After a few years, he<br />

finally <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>d to buy <strong>the</strong> <strong>la</strong>nd and build what Ea Río Quillén is today, a paradise on earth.<br />

Fly Fishing<br />

58


River Quillén, a c<strong>la</strong>ssic valley river and home to aloof brown trout and voracious rainbow trout, is<br />

one of <strong>the</strong> best p<strong>la</strong>ces for dry fly fishing in <strong>the</strong> Argentine Patagonia. Its crystal clear waters, where<br />

catch and release is compulsory, are exclusively for our guests.<br />

Only small groups of two to eight fishermen are allowed within 10 miles of river. Although 8<br />

poun<strong>de</strong>rs have been caught by <strong>the</strong> more expert ones, fish of 2 to 4 pounds are common in<br />

Quillén's runs, riffles, and pools.<br />

The Ma<strong>la</strong>lco stream, an amazing spring creek and tributary of River Quillén is not always open<br />

because of conservation measures, which makes it every fisherman's dream.<br />

Location:<br />

In <strong>the</strong> heart of Argentinean Patagonia, in <strong>the</strong> south of <strong>the</strong> province of Neuquén, it is 4 Kms from<br />

Vil<strong>la</strong> Angostura. Our hotel, set over <strong>the</strong> mouth of Correntoso River where it enters Nahuel Huapi<br />

Lake, is at <strong>the</strong> foot of <strong>the</strong> An<strong>de</strong>s; in <strong>the</strong> middle of <strong>the</strong> Lake District, it is an i<strong>de</strong>al starting-point to<br />

enjoy <strong>the</strong> unique charm of <strong>the</strong> patagonic scenery.<br />

Description:<br />

Since 1917, when <strong>the</strong> only access to <strong>the</strong>se remote corners of Patagonia was by boat or seap<strong>la</strong>ne,<br />

<strong>the</strong> visionary pioneer Primo Capraro, enchanted by <strong>the</strong> magnificent scenery, built a small woo<strong>de</strong>n<br />

cabin which was overrun by friends, visitors and fly-fishermen. Thereafter it grew by stages into this<br />

excellent and mo<strong>de</strong>rn hotel.<br />

In 1943 his son Francisco built <strong>the</strong> main central structure with blocks of volcanic <strong>san</strong>d, granite, and<br />

cypress woodwork that for years was a <strong>la</strong>ndmark of <strong>the</strong> area. Nearly 80 years of history are<br />
