The Lower Rio Grande, with its broad runs and gravel bars, will appeal particularly to two-handed anglers. Like the water farther upriver, the lower Rio Grande is shallow and easy to wade. Anglers fish chrome bright sea run browns on classic swinging water that is all privately controlled by the ranch. The day’s schedule is centered around the fishing. The guides are very knowledgeable and the staff and managers offer a hospitality that makes you want to return.
The lodge limits the number of anglers to six, so that each guest is important and their needs can be accommodated. Villa Maria is situated in one of Patagonia's biggest and oldest working estancias, Jose Menendez. It has six spacious, well furnished bedrooms, each with a private bath. The lodge features an intimate dining area, living room, and a well stocked bar with local spirits, wine and beer. Each evening the chef offers a selection of local and international cuisine accompanied by the best Argentine wines.
