From the word “go” our aim is to make your entire travel experience seamless and comfortable.

Traveling to Chile is simple and easy. There are flights to Santiago thru many hubs in the US. After conveniently flying through the night and arriving in the morning, it is a short five-minute walk to the domestic terminal where you will take a jet via LAN Airlines to Puerto Montt. With many daily flights from Santiago to Puerto Montt, this final one-hour flight is a convenient one. Our staff will be eagerly awaiting your arrival at this local airport.

Puerto Montt, is left in the rear view mirror as we proceed south down the beautiful Chilean Coast. Often we will stop in the cute little town of Puerto Varas for a gourmet meal and then proceed to the lodge. The total driving time is just over three hours; the feeling - worlds away.

With so many rivers surrounding our location. With some of the best fishing in Chile, each day you will have the opportunity to choose the style and type of fishing you enjoy.

In our experience, having the best equipment is paramount to you having a successful trip. In a location as remote as Patagonia, it is imperative. No expense has been spared in the purchase of the finest equipment for Rio Salvaje Lodge.

Our new Toyota 4-door pickups each have improved tires and suspension for a comfortable and safe ride. While we do our best to limit the amount of time spent traveling, we understand your level of comfort is directly correlated to the quality of our vehicles. For our past Rapids Camp Lodge guests, it will come as no surprise that Rio Salvaje Lodge also offers absolutely impeccable equipment. From rafts to waders, with everything in between, we are prepared. You need really only bring your clothes, a smile and an adventurous spirit.
