Estancia Atalaya adjoins the High Parana River and the Paraguay border. It is approximately 1.5 hours driving time northeast of Corrientes, Argentina. The location boasts a pristine ranching environment. Roads are good and an airstrip is nearby for private charters if desired.
Estancia Atalaya is an incredible facility in the middle of a working 25,000 acre cattle ranch. The Moncada family leaves nothing to chance, and I have never experienced this level of personal attention and camaraderie at any fishing lodge. All of our clients generally rebook for this trip.
The rooms are classic Argentine estancia accommodations, with a bit of aristocracy thrown in. Each has air conditioning and a private bath. Meals are classic Argentine fair with copious amounts of good wine, and in the warmer months are served outdoors on the expansive lawn. With a cool breeze, a thunderstorm in the distance, fine wine, and good company, this is a combination that is hard to beat. There is a pool for a mid-day retreat from the heat.
Our clients rave about the hospitality of the estancia and overall environment. The fishing day is split, with lunch at the lodge and time for a siesta. We start early, with breakfast at about 5:30 AM, breaking for lunch at 12:00 or so, and then returning to the river at 3:30 PM for fishing until dark. This maximizes the productive bite time.
