Estancia Rio Pelke
Estancia Río Pelke offers private access to five of the best trout fishing rivers in Santa Cruz Province.
Fly fishing for trout on these smaller rivers requires a special approach and different techniques for catching brown and lake trout.
These rivers have remained unfished for a long time, maintaining an exceptional abundance and size of fish. This makes them an ideal destination for both experienced fly fishermen and beginners who want to fish under the guidance of highly qualified instructors.
