Before you begin your outdoor adventure, spend two nights in luxury at the Alvear Icon Hotel, newly opened in 2017. The epitome of posh, this striking, futuristic building is located right on the banks of the Río de la Plata River, boasting panoramic views of the vibrant city of Buenos Aires.

Next, you are off to Estancia Arroyo Verde for fly fishing! Settle in for a three-night stay at this gorgeous family-owned lodge. The sweeping 10,000-acre property of Estancia Arroyo Verde in Nahuel Huapi National Park is pure unspoiled beauty, and the surrounding Andes Mountains make for stunning horseback riding and hiking excursions. Estancia Arroyo Verde has been owned by the Larivière family for more than 80 years, and their commitment to preserving this unique establishment is apparent in their high standards of hospitality and deep love of the land.

Your adventure isn't over quite yet! As soon as you've put away your fly fishing gear, you will be whisked away for a two-night stay at Llao Llao Hotel & Resort, Golf-Spa located in the heart of Argentina's lake district. Llao Llao is reminiscent of a grand mountain lodge, with exquisite views of the snowcapped Andean peaks and crystal blue lakes. Travelers looking for a true Patagonian experience with the comfort of full-service luxury choose Llao Llao Hotel & Resort.
