Salta, Argentina
For good reason, Argentina’s northwestern province of Salta is nicknamed Salta la Linda, meaning “Salta the Beautiful.” And these days, the area’s beauty is getting a lot of deserved attention; Salta’s uniquely diverse landscape has become a major draw for international tourists and adventure seekers. From the west of Salta to the east, there are high plains, grand mountains, deep valleys, canyon lands, rolling hills, vast farmlands and even jungles. Pristine rivers and streams flow throughout much of Salta, teeming with fish and attracting an abundance of wildlife. Salta’s culture is as fascinating as its geography. An intriguing blend of ancient native traditions and modern, more European, influences makes Salta a culturally distinctive province. This uniqueness is evident in everything from the regional cuisine to the area’s spectacular architecture.

Salta Golden Dorado Fishing
The Golden Dorado is South America’s most revered fresh-water game fish. Though the Golden Dorado is a distant relative of the salmon, it also shares common traits with large trout. A fighting fish, the Golden Dorado is famous for punishing lures, for making finger-burning runs and for its explosive aerial acrobatics. Salta’s many mountain streams are packed with monster Golden Dorado fish – with juveniles usually in the 3-15 lb range, and adults usually in the 15-25 lb range. Golden Dorado fishing in Salta is best in the Juramento and Bermejo rivers – both rivers are just a short drive from our Salta wingshooting lodge.

Accommodations
Completed in the late fall of 2007, our new Salta Lodge offers everything you could ever want in a hunting and fishing lodge…and more! No expense was spared when designing and building the new Salta Lodge – after all, the idea was to combine the best shooting and fishing with the best in accommodations. Though guests can expect an array of 5-Star amenities, the lodge lacks the pretension and stuffiness prevalent in so many other lodges of its caliber. Nine spacious, and modern, en suite bedrooms provide plenty of comfort for groups of up to 18 hunters. A grand, central fireplace separates the large main living area and the dining area. There are numerous indoor and outdoor lounging areas, allowing for maximum privacy and relaxation for all guests. After long days in the field, hunters are invited to take a massage in the lodge’s private massage studio. The lodge also has its own sauna, and plans have been made to add a swimming pool for next year. Guests also have open access to our roomy, fully loaded wine cellar, which often doubles as a poker room and meeting area. This is one of the few lodges that suites all types of groups – families, old hunting friends and corporate groups alike!
