With its convenient location and a high rate of repeat visitors, we recommend making reservations in advance to secure your stay.
There are few major cities on the planet that have such an incredible and vast ecosystem right in their backyard, and Buenos Aires, along with the Lower Delta of the Paraná River, is a rare exception. Just open Google Earth and take a look at it as you read this article. You will see seemingly infinite green areas that expand to the city’s northeast. As you zoom in closer, you will find a handful of main branches of the Paraná River connected by literally thousands of minor rivers, channels, creeks, and bodies of water of all shapes and sizes that look like veins running through this green wet carpet, several times the size of the Everglades.
Fishing enthusiasts will find a paradise here. Co-owner and fishing manager Noel Pollak is your Golden Dorado fly fishing guide, boasting more days guiding this world-class game fish than anyone else. In addition to the Golden Dorado, other species that can be targeted in the area include tararira, chafalote, pira pita, pati, manduva, boga, and pejerrey, among many others. The lodge offers an unparalleled fishing experience in a truly extraordinary setting.
Other than fly fishing, angling in general, birdwatching, watersports, sightseeing, or simply being there—it’s worth it. The Delta is a magical place, and the lodge offers a unique experience for outdoor travelers visiting Argentina. Constructed in 2013, Delta Lodge is beautiful, comfortable, and fun, providing guests with an unforgettable adventure in one of the world’s most remarkable natural environments.
The landscape is characterized by islands not connected by bridges, meaning no cars, no pavement, and very little of the so-called progress. The islands were created by layers and layers of sediments brought by the waters, leaving only the perimeters of each island “high”—a feature known as the “albardón.” The centers of these islands are wetlands, marshes, and lagoons, making access challenging and deterring human development. This natural barrier has preserved the area’s untouched beauty, where anything human occurs only at the perimeters.
The Delta is a dynamic and diverse ecosystem that supports a wide variety of flora and fauna. The interplay of water flows and freshwater tides, influenced by the Argentine Sea and the strength and direction of the winds, creates a biosphere in constant change. This is a big part of the Delta’s almost hypnotic charm.
