Argentina Dorado Fishing
Estancia La Pelada
Argentine Province of Corrientes

Freshwater Dorado

"Argentina World Class Sport Fishing"

After considering several lodging options in the area we were certain that Estancia La Pelada was the best choice. For group larger than 8 persons, we use Posada Hambre located within the town limits of Esquina. Estancia La Pelada sits on the banks of the Corriente River, 35 kilometers north of the confluence of the Corriente and the enormous Parana River.

This Spanish Colonial style estancia has a classical feel, yet it is only about 40 years old. This is a working cattle and horse ranch, with 10 gauchos (cowboys) working year round. Some of the finest and rarest polo horses in Argentina are kept at Estancia La Pelada.

Meals are cooked in the traditional Argentine fashion and include delicious specialty meats and fruits from the region complimented by fine wines from the province of Mendoza. During the winter, meals are served in the elegant dinning room. However, in the warmer months, lunch and breakfast are enjoyed outside under the veranda.

Although La Pelada is a ranch, it is quite apparent that you are in someone’s home and one can’t help but feel privileged to be a guest. With gracious hosts, excellent service and incredible views, it will impress the most discriminating international angler. The estancia holds eights guests in elegant European style rooms, all with private baths.

While floating the Corriente River and its deltas, you may also see Argentines who are descendants of the native Indians of the area. A few families still have a subsistent life on the river and you may see them along the shore, outside a straw hut or fishing early in the morning in canoes.
