We had a great time with Marcelo our guide. He is knowledgeable about everything from fishing to history and culture. The picnic lunch was fabulous. Took us to a private estancia that was gorgeous secluded and my husband caught 5 fish. A perfect day.

An extraordinary experience through Magallanes and Fernando. I booked an excursion out of Puerto Natales for My wife and I on very short notice, but they were very kind and responsive to our needs. easy and responsive communication on WhatsApp to customize our time on the water. they picked us up in the morning from our hostel. I am an experienced fly fisherman, with many guided trips both in the US and internationally, but my wife is much less experienced. We coordinated a trip to the Rio Penitente. A beautiful freestone river where we proceeded to catch big browns on big dry flies all day long! and the river to ourselves. never saw another angler. A true lifetime experience. My wife caught more and bigger fish than she ever had, and our guide, Fernando, could not have been more knowledgeable and patient. As we were in the region to backpack Torres de Paine, we came without any gear. They fully outfitted us: boots, waders, fly rods, reels, flies. The quality of the gear was solid. Our lunch was served riverside in late afternoon, a full charcuterie spread with local wine & beer. After lunch we continued to slay fish until 7pm before heading back. A true full day experience. Great memories, great photos, great service. I can't recommend them enough.

My son and I had fantastic day. Our guide, Hector, showed up on time and had everything ready for us. He knew the location well, and provided outstanding attention and instruction to help us learn and to catch big brook trout. Hector provided a gourmet lunch and great conversation. Everything was outstanding.

Jake was a great guide! Got us into fish, taught us a lot about the area, and was great with teaching my wife how to fly fish and deal with the wind.

Fished with Rafael for 1 day targeting Sea run trout and king salmon. I had an amazing time and learned so much from him. Although we did not catch a fish, I guarantee I came back a better fisherman, more knowledgeable and with my most memorable fishing trip yet. Rafa is simply the best. Hands down. 20+ years guiding experience, highly accomplished guide and locally renowned, the time I spent with him was invaluable, along with him generously taking care of me and sharing his knowledge.
