Reaching the highest level just for the pleasure of fishing is priceless. It’s crazy to see rivers running in the middle of the desert of the Andes.
These rivers have constant flow, temperature and water color throughout the season.
The water is as clear as glass. You’ll literally throw the fly to the fish you are looking at. The sensation of the trout approaching your hook generates happiness only matched by chocolate.
This is how the tour will go.
These are the rivers in which we will fish:
Punilla is a small-sized spring creek with absolutely crystal-clear waters. Fishing is almost all by sight and the techniques to be used are many. In this watercourse it’s very important to make careful movements and delicate shots. The water is so shallow and clear that the trout can easily notice our presence.
Los Patos River is the largest waterway in the entire Argentine Puna. It’s quite different from Punilla. Although it’s another Spring Creek of crystalline waters, its greater size presents us with a different and more varied fishing techniques.
This river has its origin in the Galán volcano and the water is warm. It flows into the Los Patos River.
Crystal clear waters, sight fishing and very scary trouts will test all fishermen who want to take a good piece.
Call us intense, but La Puna is like nothing you have ever seen in your life. It seems as if God has taken all the colors of the world and put them there. There are fishermen who have cried while watching the landscape. It is a huge, virgin area with an amazing biodiversity.
The trouts were introduced into this area by mining workers for personal consumption. With no natural predators, these fish became the lords and masters of the rivers. The hook, the rod and you have a good fight assured.
Food and drinks are two details that we take care of -and enjoy- a lot. You’ll experience typical Argentine experiences like eating freshly fried tortas fritas before we catch the sunset, or a grilled lamb in the middle of nature. We won’t tell you more, but there are some surprises waiting for you :).
Sorry if we’re repetitive, we’re just obsessed! It’s crazy and there are few places left in the world with such pure waters.
We are crazy about fishing, just like you. For 15 years, we have spent our lives studying and teaching new fishing techniques. This means that we can teach you everything you want to learn. And if you have a hard time with anything (like when it’s windy), we give you our best tricks for getting back into the game. Nothing raises your self-steem like turning around a bad day 😉
These places are wild, remote, and with few visitors. All the rivers we fish are always at 4,000 meters above sea level and have very little fishing pressure.
Dates from November to March
If you want to do the tour exclusively for you and your group, we can organize a private journey just for you.

This expedition is magical, but a bit demanding. After all, you are at 3500 meters above sea level. The best thing you can do not to get tired is to take it slow, no rush. Eat lightly, drink water and if you smoke, keep it to a minimum. And we also recommend you to take with you:
As you may have noticed, this is a journey to the heights.
And your safety is the most important thing.
After making the reservation, we will send you a medical form by email. It is very simple, confidential and you can complete it yourself. Remember that this tour includes travel and medical insurance so that you are covered at all times.
No, the tour only includes accommodation – inside the truck – since we leave San Fernando. If you want us to arrange accommodation in San Fernando del Valle de Catamarca, send us an e-mail to info@kunturflyfishing.com and we will gladly arrange it for you.
The rivers of the Puna are very narrow. They are spring creeks and can only be waded. And the fishing is excellent.
Absolutely! We are prepared to take care of whole families. We have taken ours many times already and everyone has a lot of fun! We love when everyone is participating, learning and enjoying.
It is not necessary. However, keep in mind that you will be traveling at a high altitude.
Yes, the Puna can affect us because of the height. The most important thing is to take care of ourselves before any symptoms appear. Drink lots of water, and eat little by little. We also recommend natural infusions such as coca leaves tea and pupusa tea. Following these tips, no guest of ours had problems. If spite of it you get sick, we have oxygen tubes in all vehicles.
All the guides of our team are trained to respond to an inconvenience, both in first aid and in water rescue. Safety is the priority at all times.
There is no coverage and/or internet in most of the places we go. But we are connected by VHF radio to guarantee your safety.
You will travel to the heart of the Andes Mountains. The wind and the cold can appear in the trip. We recommend that yoy prepare your suitcase keeping this in mind.
If you ask us, take some technical and warm clothing. During the day the temperatures can vary a lot. We recommend that you dress in various layers, like an onion, to adapt to the weather.
There’s no age limit.
In some fishing trips we use large or heavy equipment (7# and #8) and in other ultra-light equipment (#3 and #4). If you have availability of equipment, bring it with you. But remember that we will lend you ours if you don’t have it. (in all sizes!)
In all cases! In order for all of us to continue to enjoy fishing, the most important thing is to take care of the environment. We believe in healthy sport fishing, and from the water we only take memories (and cool pictures)
This could be you!
