Welcome to San Jose Lodge
San Jose Lodge is a beautiful classically styled Patagonian farmhouse that sits on a 24,000-acre working ranch on the island of Tierra del Fuego in southern Argentina. The lodge has an intimate family-style atmosphere with the added touch of warm and welcoming service, delicious chef-prepared cuisine paired with fine Argentine wines, five (5) comfortable and spacious rooms with private ensuite bathrooms, and two (2) inviting lounge rooms with fireplaces for guests to enjoy. The San Jose experience is like being a guest at a friend’s vacation home or fishing property than the one you would find at a standard fishing lodge.
Designed to Relax After a Long Day of Fishing
Our standard weekly program is designed to accommodate four (4) anglers in single occupancy rooms to preserve the exclusivity of our unique experience and to assure every angler fishes well rested water each day. Each room is thoughtfully furnished and well appointed with every comfort in mind, can be arranged with a single king-size bed or with two full-size beds, and comes complete with private baths. Although our experience is geared toward fly fishing, non-anglers looking to join their partners are always welcome to visit. The Estancia is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the solitude and peace of ranch life in southern Argentine Patagonia.

Authentic Argentinian Experiences
Our staff at San Jose Lodge offer an immersive lodge experience that allows our guests to relax and unwind as if they were in their own home — the Argentine way.
Everything at San Jose Lodge is done with pride and consciousness. From sourcing freshly cut meats and preparing them in authentic fire-roasted fashion, to the attentive and friendly hospitality provided by our longtime Argentine staff, the San Jose experience is as good as it can possibly get when it comes to exclusive fly fishing lodges.
Our Spaces were Designed to Forge Bonds and Create Memories
In addition to comfortable rooms and lodge accommodations, we have several other amenities to enhance your angling experience. Adjacent to the guide greeting area behind the main house we have a large heated gear room with benches for you to store waders, boots, and fishing gear. Centrally located on the river we have a small cabin for anglers to retreat from the weather and relax. When the weather allows, we often roast a lamb over an open fire for lunch at the cabin rather than returning to the lodge for the mid-day break. In classic Argentine ranch tradition, each week, our staff hosts an authentic Asado (Argentine BBQ) in our artfully designed “quincho” located in our remodeled sheep shearing shed.
