Exciting News For Our Dorado Combo

Exciting News

for our Dorado Program

We have made several improvements to both of our lodges, including new outdoor lounging areas, new decks, a swimming pool and much more.
Additionally, during the past year we have spent a significant amount of time and effort exploring new territories deeper in the wetlands. Our exploration discovered a path to virgin waters where no other anglers have reached before – a truly unspoiled fishery. We found so much amazing water and trophy Dorado populations that we decided to build a second camp. Our newest addition, Yaguarete Ava Camp, provides us the opportunity to share this treasure with our friends.

Furthermore, for new Dorado Combo reservations we are now adding private flights to connect La Alondra and Itati Lodges. Instead of the customary three hours drive between properties you’ll now have 30 minutes in the air viewing the spectacular wetlands from above. Once you land at the local airport you’ll have a quick 30 minutes road transfer to the lodge. The net result will be convenience coupled with more time on the water.

For returning guests we know you’ll appreciate the upgrades to this truly unique experience. For first time guests you’ll quickly realize that our Dorado Comb Program is the best on the market.

Please enjoy our newest video. Contact us for more details and to begin planning your Dorado Combo adventure.

I’ve enjoyed watching these incredible fish as they live, feed, and survive, in various types of fisheries and waterways. But only a few times in all of these years, and only in the farthest reaches of the Upper Parana River, was I lucky enough to witness the unparalleled drama of the Dorado spawning.

The primary prey fish of the Golden Dorado is the Sabalo, a medium sized schooling fish that often weighs between 3 and 5 pounds, which requires a bit of strategy along with opportunity.

These adventures are commonly reviewed as the highlight of the trip and more often we have requests from repeat anglers to do more adventure venues, which has been the motor for us to constantly seek for the next one to find.
