The Delta Fishing Trips is a new program located near Buenos Aires that will please serious anglers and business travelers alike: a lodge deeply submerged in nature but only minutes away from the city—offering the kinds of high-quality fishing, guiding, lodging and dining experiences only Nervous Waters can provide. The Paraná River, one of the most remarkable watersheds in South America, develops into an incredible ecosystem at the end of its run into the Rio de la Plata, just outside of greater Buenos Aires. Known as the Delta, this endless labyrinth of streams, braids, sidechannels, bays, and islands brims with wildlife and beautiful dorado waters. This UNESCO designated “Biosphere Reserve” is also a bird watcher’s paradise. Here you’ll find the Delta Fishing Lodge, where our guided fly fishing programs take place. We offer two options in this unique area: For those who must stay in Buenos Aires for a day/night before heading to a fishing lodge elsewhere in the country, there is the day trip program. A private car will pick you up at your hotel and in just 35 minutes you’ll be on board custom made skiff—ready to go after dorado and tarariras with fly tackle. And for those willing to spend 1 or 2 more days, we’ve developed an exciting new lodge in the secluded islands surrounded by almost unexplored wild life.

The lodge is located less than an hour away from downtown Buenos Aires, on the second section of the Lower Parana Delta in northeastern Buenos Aires province. Few cosmopolitan cities have such an amazing abundance of wilderness right at their doorsteps. Due to the unique nature of this zone, UNESCO designated it a “Biosphere Reserve” back in 2000. This is where the legendary Parana River Basin, the second largest of its kind in South America, ends its journey and flows into the Rio de la Plata. Thousands of creeks, streams, channels, islands, and rivers of all sizes make up this extensive 90,000 ha ecosystem. In addition to great fishing, the area is home to incredible birdlife, so it’s a must for birders.
Getting There
Guests fly into Buenos Aires and typically overnight there having spent a day touring this wonderful city. A transfer with a professional driver will pick up guests either at the international or domestic airport in Buenos Aires, or at the hotel where guests are located. Drive time to the marina, where the guide and the skiff will be waiting, is about 30 to 45 minutes depending on the traffic. Boat run from the marina to the lodge is about 25 minutes though the Delta.
