Trip Overview

Located in the province of Corrientes, in the northeast of Argentina, Estancias el Dorado stands out as a typical Argentine ranch upon the Corriente river.

As it is very close to the Corriente river, it allows to fish its clear banks almost all along its course, sight fishing or searching for the most powerful hook-ups of the large dorados on the river banks.

A wide variety of birds, capybaras and yacarés (alligators) can be seen all along the river. The Dorado (Salminus Maxillosus) or "the Tiger of the Paraná" is a very aggressive fish for sport fishing.

Although the dorado may reach 30 pounds, the average size in the river Corriente has held between 4 and 12 pounds, but there are also larger ones.
