Estaban and his team are first class. They arranged everything for the week. Making the trip so easy. And of course, the fishing. Each day we fished different water. Including a really fun overnight camping trip 1/2 way through a river float. We pulled up to the campsite that was totally set up with tents cots and sleeping bags. And, we enjoyed roasted lamb over an open fire. 3 rivers and a lake (really fun). Estaban and guides put us on plenty of fish over the 6 fishing days.Estaban and his family made us feel really welcome to Patagonia. And the food? Awesome. I would definitely recommend. Southern Loops.

Esteban and his crew of guides were amazing. A group of 8 women anglers spent a week fishing in Patagonia on several rivers. We enjoyed our time on and off the rivers and lake. The fishing was both fun and challenging. The fishing, accommodations and food were well worth the value.

Just got back from an amazing all women’s fishing adventure with Southern Loops in Patagonia! I had never fly fished before, and was with a group that was much more experienced. The guides were excellent at accommodating different skill levels in the same boat and helping me catch a big rainbow my first day! I highly recommend Southern Loops. They are professional, knowledgeable, patient, kind and very friendly.

Esteban and his crew were amazing. The communication before our trip, the details and support during the trip, and most importantly our time on the water all went off beautifully! The guides were knowledgeable and funny and very helpful to both the very experienced in our group and to the one guest who had never fished before. I absolutely recommend SouthernLoops!

My Fifth trip to the region for my Summer (there) fly fishing fix. Southern Loops does it all right. Highly organized and accommodating, every aspect of my trip with Esteban and the crew was a pleasure. It was a very personalized adventure not corporate like some trips can be. If you can, go!

If you are looking for one of the best guided fly fishing experiences you can have in Patagonia (Lakes District), SouthernLoops should be your first choice. Esteban and his family run SouthernLoops like a well oiled machine. Everything is so well organized and thoughtful - two words not ordinarily associated with fly fishing guiding services. From airport transfers, to hotels, to your time in cities on your way to Patagonia, and of course the fishing experience itself, it’s all taken care of and run professionally but with a lovely personal touch by Esteban and his team.My wife and I had one of our favorite shared travel memories during our week with Esteban. I certainly cannot wait to return for round 2.

My son and I had the good fortune of fishing with Esteban for 3 days on 3 different rivers. He treated us like family. Esteban is very knowledgeable about all aspects of fly fishing but his most impressive attribute was his commitment to the protection of the fish as well as the environment they depend on. If you have a chance to make the journey to Patagonia and have the opportunity to fish with Esteban and his team, you will experience the trip of a lifetime! We caught LOTS of fish! Tight lines!Mike & Benny

Out trip with Esteban, his guides, and the entire team at Southernloops was without question one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The fly fishing was good, the guides worked hard to help maximize our experience, and the service provided by Esteban and his team was immaculate! The scenery, the food, the wine, the culture, and the guides were all outstanding. Also, I was able to share this trip with my two sons and a good friend…and Esteban and his team went out of their way to make sure we maximized our experience. The personal touch was absolutely incredible….so if you’re looking for a 5 Star fishing experience in Patagonia I would highly recommend Esteban and Southern Loops!!
