    Great Outside Time in the Andes

    This was 100% worth the price and full day experience. Daniel our guide was a great fly fishing expert and really gave us individual attention to teach us the skills needed to fish. The river we fished on was indeed private, quiet and serene. It does take you outside the city but its a beautiful drive seeing the Andes. The barbeque lunch is more of an awesome 3 course meal with wine! Way more food and better than I would have expected. Theres a charming home on site with a kitchen, dining room and covered outdoor fire pit. The dining area we ate in was rustic and adorable. Would highly recommend this tour!

    Response from the operator: Thank you Lauren. Our fishing trip is one of a kind in Mendoza. Have a safe trip home.

    Beautiful fishing day!

    Everything about this experience was fantastic. It was very easy to book and great communication with the office staff. My husband is an avid fisher but I’m not. Pablo was very patient showing me how to fish. Both Pablo and Sergio were fantastic guides. This trip is perfect for all skill levels. The ranch is beautiful and quiet, away from all the tourists. Lunch was delicious. One of the favorite days on our trip, we would highly recommend if you want an outdoor adventure.

    Beautiful trip.

    This was one of the most amazing excursions we have ever done. It is off the beaten path and legitimately up in the mountains. Our guide Pablo was amazing, along with his friend Agustina. They were both extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The property is beyond beautiful. Honestly the drive there was worth doing it. We will never forget it. If you are looking for something that is not a tourist trap and a true adventure book this. The hiking was not difficult, but wear a hat and sunscreen.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Kayla. I'm glad you had such a good time. La Carrera is somewhere special, a green microclimate in the high mountains. Not many people visit there but thats the great thing about fishing, it gets you out and away!

    Fly Fishing on Private Andean River Including Barbecue Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mendoza.

    How much does Fly Fishing on Private Andean River Including Barbecue Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $540 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mendoza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Fly Fishing on Private Andean River Including Barbecue Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mendoza is not rushed.

    Is Fly Fishing on Private Andean River Including Barbecue Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mendoza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Fly Fishing on Private Andean River Including Barbecue Lunch?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Fly Fishing on Private Andean River Including Barbecue Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Fly Fishing on Private Andean River Including Barbecue Lunch?

    +

    Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mendoza can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mendoza and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Fly Fishing on Private Andean River Including Barbecue Lunch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mendoza within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Mendoza?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Mendoza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include High Mountain, Aconcagua and Inca Bridge, Andes High Mountain full day Tour, Horseback riding and roast in the mountains of Mendoza. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Mendoza?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Mendoza?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Fly Fishing on Private Andean River Including Barbecue Lunch?

    +

    Included: Light refreshments; Hotel pick up and drop-off; Alcoholic beverages; Driver/guide; and Snacks. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Fly Fishing on Private Andean River Including Barbecue Lunch include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 29 listed pickup locations in and around Mendoza. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Fly Fishing on Private Andean River Including Barbecue Lunch offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Is Fly Fishing on Private Andean River Including Barbecue Lunch wheelchair or stroller accessible?
