Tucked into a valley at the foothills of the Andes and on the shore of Lacar Lake, San Martin de los Andes is a small, beautiful Alpine-style town — often compared to a Swiss ski village, or to what Aspen looked like decades ago.
Beyond the fishing, it's a destination in its own right. Many of our guests choose to spend a few extra days here before or after their time on the river, enjoying the town's charm, its lake, and its mountain surroundings at a slower pace.
The town offers a wide range of activities for every season. In winter, Cerro Chapelco ski resort is just 25 minutes away. During the warmer months, guests can enjoy horseback riding, trekking, mountain biking, golf at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Chapelco Golf Course, or simply exploring the famous Seven Lakes Road toward Villa La Angostura and Bariloche.
Downtown, cozy boutique hotels and cabin resorts, excellent restaurants, chocolate shops and local wineries make it easy to enjoy the warmth and hospitality of the people who live here — a perfect way to complete your Patagonia experience.
For golfers looking to combine world-class fly fishing with an unforgettable golf experience, Chapelco Golf Club is just 15 minutes from San Martin de los Andes. Designed by legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus, this award-winning 18-hole championship course is considered one of the finest golf destinations in Patagonia and South America.Standard and superior suites are available at one of the nicest accommodations in town. Spacious bedrooms with private bathrooms, hydro-massage, air conditioning, minibar, fireplace and TV are just some of the amenities.
