The River of Dreams Basecamp
The middle section of Rio Blanco is some of the most untouched water in all of Patagonia. The lower reaches of the Blanco, near its confluence with Rio Aysén and mere miles from where the river dumps into the Pacific Ocean, can be reached via both an unimproved dirt road and by upstream jetboat—until powerful waterfalls and class IV rapids block your way. And, the first few miles downstream of the river's origin can be accessed by portaging across a massive lake and hiking downriver before an impassible canyon halts your progress.

Patagonia | Chile That vast middle river—30 miles of pristine, trophy trout water accessible only by horseback or helicopter—is known to those that have made the trek as The River of Dreams. Fished only by small groups of 6 anglers per week, and by only a handful of anglers each year, the River of Dreams is an unspoiled treasure, even by Patagonian standards. For those that prefer to fish on foot, it's worth nothing The River of Dreams isn't just a boat river. The Blanco is punctuated by walk-and-wade braids and channels where you can swing flies or target rising fish. And, just a 30-second stroll from basecamp flows a walkable spring creek where the occasional two-foot-long brown will gulp a dry fly and then spring from the water as it protests its “food” biting back.
