By the Paraná river

A Paraná experience

Rio Bravo Lodge sits in the province of Santa Fe, only a one-hour flight from Buenos Aires. The characteristics of this region provide the perfect environment for large quantities of ducks, doves and perdiz — and for the golden dorado that gives the Paraná its reputation.

The golden dorado has a large head with powerful jaws full of sharp teeth. They are known as river tigers. After you hook one, the fight begins: these fish are extremely strong and they jump when hooked, letting the angler see their amazing beauty. Fishing is done with bait or fly.
