The philosophy
of the Chucao Fishing Lodges
Our foremost aim is to build our lodges in the best possible locations near to the finest fishing areas. Our first location, Chucao Lodge Yelcho, is on the shore of the lake very close to where it empties into the Yelcho River. The lodge is only 45 minutes away from the airport at Chaitén.
Our second location, Chucao Lodge Rosselot, is also situated on the shore right where the Rosselot Lake empties into the Rosselot River. The lodge is located 15 minutes from the charming town of La Junta, just a 60-minute drive from our lodge at Yelcho.

These two magic places were built by Gonzalo Cortés, an experienced fisherman and author of the book "Fly Fishing in Chilean Patagonia". Constructed of fine native woods, the lodges have a warm and welcoming feeling. Capacity in both buildings is for 8 to 10 fishermen in five rooms, each with twin beds. All rooms have private bathrooms.
THE LODGES: The lodges are designed for fishermen to relax after their day on the lake or river. In both lodges there is a large living room with an open fireplace and a comfortable dining room that is connected to the kitchen, which is equipped with a wood-fed cooking stove that is typical of the south of Chile.
Both lodges overlook a lake – one faces the majestic Yelcho and the other the beautiful Rosselot. In addition to their breathtaking views, both locations are only meters away from some of the best fishing in their area. Their strategically located terraces have magnificent views of the lake and river, as well as of the glaciers and mountains across the lakes from the lodge. When the weather permits, drinks and lunch are served on the terrace, and once a week the chef of the lodge serves a lamb barbecue prepared in the Chilean style.
To one side of the lodge and situated in the garden only meters away from the bar is our hot tub, with a capacity for six persons; this is permanently available throughout your stay.
