For those who love adventure on the water, Jetu’u Lodge offers more than just exceptional fly fishing; it invites you to explore a rich cultural tradition deeply rooted in Argentina. Located near the serene landscapes from Santa Lucia to Esquina in Corrientes Province, our lodge celebrates the legacy of tobacco—a vibrant part of local heritage.
In years gone by, this area was a hub for tobacco plantations. Although large producers like Philip Morris have since moved on, the heart of tobacco culture remains. At Jetu’u Lodge, we honor this legacy in every detail of your experience.
For the past two years, we’ve organically nurtured our own tobacco plants, a testament to our commitment to tradition. Last year, we focused on blonde tobacco. This year, we’re excited to offer a unique blend of blonde and Creole tobacco (dark and strong), inviting you to experience the rich flavors that this tradition has to offer.
Every week you can join Antonia for a hands-on workshop, where you can learn the art of hand-rolling cigars. It’s a wonderful way to connect with the culture of the area while gathering skills that are as enjoyable as they are rewarding.
To further enrich your experience, our chefs have skillfully incorporated tobacco as a subtle ingredient in select dishes and beverages, offering guests a taste of this regional tradition in unexpected and delightful ways.
As you step into our dining room, you’ll be greeted by beautiful lamps handcrafted from tobacco leaves by skilled local artisans. The warm glow enhances the lodge’s rustic charm, making every meal feel special. A subtle blend of tobacco and vanilla scent fills the air, creating a soothing and inviting atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day of fishing.
After a fulfilling day of fly fishing—casting your line in some of Argentina’s best waters for Golden Dorado—relax by the lodge with a drink of your choice. You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy our homemade cigars, complimentary for all our guests. Picture yourself basking in the beauty of the surrounding marshlands as the sun sets, savoring the fruits of your day in perfect tranquility.
At Jetu’u Lodge, we invite you to experience the rich traditions of Argentinian tobacco while enjoying world-class fishing. It’s an adventure that combines the thrill of the catch with the pleasure of cultural discovery, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Join us for an unforgettable retreat where each moment spent is a celebration of the good life.
