"Meet the Lodge"
The main inspiration for the Lodge’s design is the outstanding location between 820 foot tall (250m) cliffs, next to the Futaleufu River.
The main area of the lodge welcomes you with an open common space for gatherings, open bar and a comfortable living and dining room with a soul warming wood burning stove.
Enjoy the views from the massive windows and relax after a long day of fishing.
*We can accommodate up to 6 guests in 3 double rooms, each one with a private bathroom.
*Complimentary High Speed WI-FI is available in the whole house, so you can send pictures of your amazing fish to your friends and family.
*Home cooked meals are thoughtfully prepared for your enjoyment and nourishment.
*There is a fully-equipped mud room at the entrance of the lodge with a toilet and wood stove to dry out your gear.
*Please consider that in Chile, the power requirements are type C and L. The standard voltage is 220 V and the frequency is 50 Hz.

What our customers say about us
Thank you again for some truly amazing days fishing. I have worked with guides all over the world and I can say you are the best. We will definitely share your contact info with everyone we know who wants to come to Patagonia.
Me and my 30 year old son traveled to Epu Lodge for the first time this past January 2023. The lodge was perfect, cozy, comfortable, had excellent food and wine and it's situated in a striking area along the trout filled river! Each of our flyfishing days with Nano guiding with dry flies was a new and more beautiful adventure. More browns and more rainbows than I ever expected in the stunning scenery of Patagonia. Thank you very much Nano!”
“Hernan really distinguished himself with his knowledge of the water, the fish, and local wildlife. He knew where the fish were and how to catch them. He doesn’t mind sharing a tip or two about casting, which is helpful. He is laser-focused on his clients’ enjoyment and willingly shares his insights into the incredible flora and fauna of the region. He has a great sense of humor to boot. I want him as my guide on my next trip to the Futa region.”
