AT THE SOUTHERNMOST TIP OF THE AMERICAS

Within the UNESCO Cape Horn Biosphere, recognized as

one of the 24 most pristine areas on the planet, is Isla

Navarrino and Puerto Williams, the southernmost city in

the world.

LAKUTAIA LODGE is located on Navarino Island in a wild and remote area.

The name “Lakutaia” means “Bay of the Royal Cormorant “in the language of

the Yamana, one of the original indigenous peoples of Tierra del Fuego.

For those that love fly fishing, having the chance to fish in such a remote and

rarely visited area containing many lakes and rivers teeming with large wild

trout is a very exciting opportunity and only a dream for most fly fishermen.

We invite you to make this dream a reality and join us at the southernmost area

of the planet to challenge your skills fly fishing for large Brown Trout, Brook

Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Sea Run Trout. The heart of the last frontier is only a

short helicopter flight from the lodge. You will fly to some of the most remote

rivers, lakes and lagoons in the world. The varying types of water available

present the fisherman with an interesting array of fishing options.

José Nogueira Hotel has 22 rooms, including 5 suites which are finely decorated and include all the amenities of a large hotel.In order to preserve the structure of the building, only the available spaces were adapted, and not all the rooms are exactly alike. As a result, some of the rooms are more spacious than others, but each one of them has their own personality and characteristics, and are of course luxurious. The luxurious nature of the hotel is extended over all its guests, providing each on of them with very distinct and personalized attention.

FISHING INFORMATION

- Navarino Island offers fishing in the southernmost river of Chilean

Patagonia. This river drains from Navarino Lake and is full of Brook and

Brown Trout and to, a lesser degree, Rainbow Trout. You will be able to

fish this river with both dry and wet flies. We recommend bringing a

wading staff to wade in and sometimes cross the river because the river

bed can be slippery. Trout in this river can grow to about 34” and in some

cases, even world-record size.

MEDICAL RECOMMENDATIONS

- All guests have the responsibility to advise the Lodge of medical,

physical or dietary needs ahead of time. The Lodge will make every

effort to ensure your safety while you are a guest at the Lodge; however,

outdoor activities of this nature are not entirely without risk. The lodge

recommends that you invest in travel insurance before your trip.

POWER AND COMMUNICATIONS

- The Lodge has 220 volt, 50 cycle power and takes adaptors of the

rounded two-prong type.

- The Lodge has adaptors for their guests. Just ask for assistance.

- Telephone and internet services are available.

GRATUITIES

- The lodge recommends 10% of the lodge rate as total tip for the

program’s guides and staff. Guides generally fish an 8-hour day, but they

will cater to the serious angler who fishes longer hours; in this case guide

tips should be adjusted accordingly.

CURRENCIES

- If you are entering Chile and you are bringing cash that exceeds

$10,000 (USD), or the equivalent in other currencies, (even if it is in

Chilean Pesos), you will have to declare it by contacting one of the

employees of the Chilean National Customs Department. Hotels in Chile

normally accept Chilean Pesos and American Dollars, as well as Visa,

Mastercard, American Express, Diners Club International, and Magna.

CLIMATE

- Temperatures range is from 40°F in the morning to over 80°F in the

afternoon. Bring warm clothing that can be layered.

CLOTHING

- Pack light, warm and windproof clothing. Those visiting us in the late

season can count on cold mornings and evenings. Wind Bloc and Wind

Stopper fleece products are very good and, when combined with

breathable waders and jacket, offer superior protection that will keep

you warm and comfortable all day. Prepare to dress in layers. Remember

your sunscreen and polarized sunglasses.

“I am the albatross that is waiting for you at the end of the world.

I am the soul of the forgotten dead sailors who crossed the cape horn from all the seas of the earth.

But they didn't die in the raging waves,Today fly on my wings,Towards Eternity,In the last crevice of the Antarctic winds."

(Sara Vial, Dec. 1992)
