PUNA
Antofagasta de la Sierra is a small village located at an altitude of 3200 meters above sea level, right in the heart of the Andes, north of Catamarca province in Argentina. Its population is around 600 inhabitants who reside all year long. Here we have our headquarters, and it’s the point of departure to the different fishing zones.
It is a quite unique location, surrounded by more than 200 volcanos. You can find attractions like Galán volcano, which has the biggest crater on earth, Campo de Piedra Pómez, which is one of a kind, or Salar de Antofalla (the longest salt pan in the world), among others.
Los Patos River
Los Patos is a water course whose features are completely different from Punilla. While this is a crystal-clear water spring creek, its bigger size calls for a different fishing and a wider range of techniques.
Punilla River
Punilla is a spring creek of small dimensions and perfectly crystal-clear waters. Fishing here involves mainly sight fishing and the techniques chosen may vary. In this water course it is highly important to execute subtle movements and delicate presentations, since given its shallow depth and the clarity of water, trouts can easily spot our presence.
CUISINE
Of course, we haven’t forgotten about meals!
Whether with the famous Argentinian lamb or the amazing Puna´s regional jams, our Chef, exclusive to the operation, has created a special menu that will awaken all your senses.

Antofagasta de la Sierra es un pequeño pueblo ubicado a una altura de 3200 MSNM en plena cordillera de los Andes al norte de la provincia de Catamarca, Argentina. Tiene una población aproximada de 600 habitantes que residen durante todo el año y es aquí donde tenemos nuestra base de operaciones y desde donde partiremos hacia las diferentes zonas de pesca.
Es un lugar absolutamente único rodeado de más de 200 volcanes. Allí se encuentra el Volcán Galán con el cráter más grande del mundo, el Campo de Piedra Pómez, único en su tipo y también el Salar de Antofalla (el más largo del mundo) sólo por nombrar algunos atractivos.
RIO LOS PATOS
Los Patos es un curso de agua de características totalmente diferentes al Punilla. Si bien es otro Spring Creek de aguas cristalinas, su mayor tamaño nos plantea una pesca diferente y más variada en lo que a técnicas se refiere.
RIO PUNILLA
El Punilla es un Spring Creek de pequeñas dimensiones y aguas absolutamente cristalinas. La pesca se realiza casi toda a pez visto y las técnicas a utilizar pueden ser variadas. En este curso de agua es muy importante realizar movimientos muy cuidados y tiros delicados, ya que por su poca profundidad y claridad del agua las truchas pueden notar nuestra presencia muy fácilmente.
COCINA
¡Por supuesto que no nos olvidamos de la comida!
Ya sea con el famoso cordero Argentino o los increibles dulces regionales de la Puna Catamarqueña, nuestro Chef, exclusivo de la operación, tiene preparado un menú que despertará todos tus sentidos.
