Rio Dorado & Rio Juramento
Nothing like sight fishing for Golden Dorado in a crystal clear small jungle creek in Argentina!
This trip has it it all! Small rivers & large rivers with excellent Golden Dorado flyfishing. With 6 days of fishing along with amazing food and wine, we’re sure to have an incredible experience. Lodging varies with a more wild, rugged, & beautiful setup on the Rio Dorado(has a fan and cot along with excellent food). Whereas the Rio Juramento has a nicer hotel/lodge with AC and full amenities.
Not only is the fishing spectacular but most days you’ll be joined by macaws & birds of every kind, butterflies, occasional Tapir’s and an almost overwhelming and incredible amount of biodiversity. This trip is beautiful and wild! Nervous about the dangers of the jungle, click here. Note that days are long, hot, and tiring. This trip is not for the faint of heart with long days of hiking on the Rio Dorado and lots of balancing and casting on the Rio Juramento. For a detailed gear list, see my gear guide
$3,800 which covers everything except travel to/from Salta, fishing equipment, and tips to staff (recommend 10%). This includes all hotels, travel, food/alcohol, from the time you arrive & depart Salta.
Itinerary below (agenda is subject to last minute minor changes):
Nov 1-3: Fly from home to Salta, Argentina arriving in Salta at some point on November 3rd. I recommend flying to Buenos Aires for a night before heading to Salta. Regardless, arrive in Salta by early afternoon Nov 3 to be picked up and transported to the lodge.
Nov 4-6: Three days of flyfishing the Rio Dorado, a small tributary of the Juramento river, for Golden Dorado. Epic hiking and sight fishing opportunities in a world class jungle setting. Smaller and remote camp (pictured below). This river is noteworthy for its excellent topwater fishing!
Nov 7-9: Three days of floating and fishing the world famous Juramento River for giant Golden Dorado. After hiking and fishing small water, it’s time to head to the bigger river for a few days of floating and targeting potentially larger Golden Dorado.
Nov 10 & 11: Depart Salta on the November 10th and travel home via your personal route/schedule.
