Marine Wildlife Excursions

Because of the pristine location of Los Leones located right on the Pacific Ocean you can have a guaranteed adventurous excursion. A local guide will take you out on a boat to the homes of sea lions. In route to the home of the sea lions it is very probable that you see penguins and dolphins, and possibly blue whale.

If you are an experienced or technical fisherman we have some incredible spots for you to venture to that might require some hiking or tramping through forests to get to some of the most amazing fishing holes with huge fish that have never seen a fisherman's shadow.

For novices we can take you right out in the bay or in the river to fish for salmon, robalo or nice rainbow and brown trout.

We can arrange for a professional guide to take you to many of the local rivers and lakes that the area is becoming famous for.

For fishing in these rivers the guides recommend six-or seven-weight rods with a floating line, 1X tippet for streamers and 3X for dry flies. Dry-fly patterns include Chernobyl ants, stimulators, and Chile has some very unusual bugs such as a 2” stonefly, giant crickets, and something called a stranher derpanicus gayi. Patterns used imitate a small fish called Puye which the sea run browns and steelhead feed on. Minnows are also used as well as streamers in white, silver plate, black, violet and yellow, which can be very effective. Most of the fishing is done by wading for trout in the 16” to 30” range weighing from 4 to 9 pounds.

Kayaking

Los Leones is well equipped with new kayaks that can be used for adventuring through the many waters surrounding the lodge.  We have wonderful meandering rivers, fjord and open ocean kayaking available for you and a number our routes that will tempt the most avid kayakers.

Natural Hot Springs

Just an hour boat ride away lies a variety of natural hot springs lined with comfortable homemade log benches for relaxing. Paths and bridges have been constructed that will take you to the springs hidden in the rainforests of this Chilean paradise.
