The dorado is the main target species at Dorados Fishing Lodge. The season runs from October to March.

The freshwater dorado is considered to be the single most challenging native freshwater gamefish of South America. It is a radiant, golden-hued, salmon-like fish with an extremely powerful jaw and razor-sharp teeth. Unlike the salmon, however, the dorado does not succumb after spawning and never swims to the ocean. The dorado is an exceptionally strong swimmer and normally ranges in size from 5 to 20 pounds, although the world record is 70 pounds. Guests will fish out of flats type boats and may fish along the shore in a productive area as well. Each guide boat will fish with two guests

Dorados Fishing Lodge is located on Santa Lucía River coast, 8 miles from the Mburucuyá National Park, inside one of the largest palm tree areas of Argentina. Here you will be able to enjoy this comfortable ranch surrounded by a marvelous view of the river and lovely palm tree fields. The ranch is situated in a huge and virgin area of approximately 11, 200 acres, where you will be able to gaze at nature and learn about our many native species of birds, mammals, reptiles and fish. The lodge has very suitable accommodations. There are three air-conditioned double rooms, a large living-room as well as comfortable areas to rest. There is also a nice garden where you can swim in the pool, take a nap or just chat with your friends by the sunset. During your visit, you will be delighted by the excellent regional food, argentine wines and also the kindness of the Argentine people.

Breakfast is served at approximately 6:30 or 7:00 AM. You will be served coffee or tea, along with fresh orange juice, fruits, toasts, different marmalades, butter, scrambled eggs, sausage, and muffins. At lunch, you can enjoy a light meal, because a hard fishing journey will be waiting for you during the afternoon. You can also choose having lunch at the river, but it’s not recommended due to high temperatures and hot days. At dinner you will be delighted by the famous Argentine barbecue, as the meat is known throughout the world as some of the finest and most tender cuts. You can also taste our pasta meals, just like mama makes! All meals are served with fresh salads and/or vegetables, and we suggest trying the homemade empanadas… just great! For wine lovers, red or white wines from Mendoza are served during lunch and dinner. You will fall in love with them. For those who enjoy drinking beer, cool bottles will be waiting for you at the fridge. While in boat, a snack will be served, with water, beer or sodas. Any special requests made known at the beginning of their stay (ie: vegetarians) can be accommodated

From Buenos Aires, visiting anglers are then transferred from the international airport to the national Aeroparque airport. You will then take a 1-1/2 hour flight to Corrientes and then greeted by the lodge staff and transferred approximately 1-1/2 hours overland to the lodge. Transfer to Iguazu falls and flight from there to Buenos Aires back

Unlike many other exclusive fishing lodges around the globe, Dorados Fishing offers plenty of activities for the non-angler. The Iberá Marshland is home to some of the most diverse and bountiful wildlife on the planet, but you don’t have to be an avid bird-watcher, biologist, or botanist to be amazed by the abundance and variety of flora and fauna in the region. Guests can spend hours on horseback, riding along the edge of the marsh or in the dense forest observing birds, marsh deer, and monkeys in their wild, natural habitat. For those guests with a brisk walk or jog in their daily regimen, there are over 3 miles of private roads on the property. And finally, if it’s a more relaxed activity you’re looking for, sunbathing, reading by the swimming pool or taking a stroll around the lodge’s 11,200 acre estancia are among the many ways to pass the warm sunny days.
