Pira Lodge is the ultimate destination for Dorado fishing. As the oldest and most experienced lodge it is unequalled in quality and location. Dorado are hunted from Hells Bay flats boats that negotiate the creeks lagoons and rivers found in our area. Most of the waterin this area is quite clear which is not the case with other Dorado destinations. You can see the dorado as it slashes your fly. The dorado is oddly part of the salmon family (salminus maxillosus). It is one of the best if not the best fighting warm water species I have seen. They all jump and fight longer and harder than another famous species the peacock bass.

Pira was built as a fishing lodge from the ground up to take advantage of this marshlands of the area. The lodge has 5 rooms and can accommodate up to 10 guests. The culture is more friendly than you can imagine. The food is typical Argentine fare with the best meats in the world with local produce that is fresh each day. The Iberá Marshland home to more than to hundreds of species of birds, mammals and reptiles, not to mention the incredible plant life through the marsh. Your guide can make sure you see all the wildlife in the area anytime you want a break from fishing.
It is a long trip from the States to Argentina. Most of the flights from the US to Buenos Aires are overnight flights arriving in the morning. Most people choose to overnight at least one day in Buenos Aires just to help with the jet lag and enjoy this beautiful and fun city.
You will then need to take a commercial flight or charter flight to Corrientes or Resistencia. Another option is an overnight sleeping bus complete with meals and first class full reclining seats. Once you arrive in in town you will be met by our driver for your drive to the lodge. You will have a chance to explore the grounds, organize your gear and get fishing the day of arrival so get here early!.
