On July 9, 1816, in the historic Casa de Tucumán, Argentina declared its independence.
This important event marked the birth of a free nation, establishing the basis of our identity and future. It’s a chance to remember those who fought for our freedom and to reflect on the values of independence and unity.
From the Olsen Family, we honor this day and proudly celebrate the bravery and determination of our ancestors.
Wake up early, have a good breakfast, drink good coffee, plan your day. And go fishing, of course! 😉
Another season of unforgettable moments on the water has come to a close.
A HUGE thank you to all our guests, our staff, and our fly fishing community for making this season one to remember.
To our family. A very special year with the most special Gaucho/American weeding. For all the members that make special our home.
Until we meet again on the banks of our Malleo River.
Tight your lines. Do not loose your casting skills!
Until season 2024-2025!
Another season of unforgettable moments on the water has come to a close. 🫡
A HUGE thank you to all our guests, our dedicated staff, and our incredible fly fishing community for making this season one to remember. Your support, friendship, and shared passion for the sport have made every day an adventure.
Until we meet again on the banks of our favorite rivers, tight lines and best wishes! 🥂😉😎
In loving memory of Reed.
Reed was not only an avid sportsman but also a dedicated conservationist who cared deeply about the natural world.
But beyond his love for nature, Reed was a true friend to all who knew him. What made Reed very special was this ability to forge deep and meaningful connections with those around him. He had a way of making everyone feel valued and included, and his genuine kindness and generosity touched many hearts.
We know that Argentina and this little small piece of our family tradition has a big place in Reed ́s heart.
I remember his very first trips, he almost did not want to tell people where he was coming to hunt in Argentina, just afraid of sharing this special spot that he discovered and almost wanting it for himself to share with family and friends. But this feeling did not last at all, as he started helping us to promote our operation, generously arranging meetings and parties in his favourite clubs or even at his house to introduce us to all his circle. For over 20 years, Reed and his companions have been an integral part of our family’s hunting expeditions. He not only saw our business grow but also encouraged us to constantly improve. Reed treated our staff members with unwavering respect and was incredibly generous and respectful towards our Birdmans, and every single member of our team. He is part of those guests that leave a legacy in our story, those guests that become friends, those guests that we will remember with love and gratitude.
Always eager to try out a new gun like a child with a new toy, meticulously planning each hunting excursion, and ensuring that every gathering was accompanied by laughter and enjoyment. He had a knack for the finer details, like arranging for two load-men at the blind to ensure perfect timing to try new shotguns, orchestrating outstanding pigeon hunts followed by well-planned dinners paired with Argentine wines. Reed would always request a double-sized ChocoTorta for dessert, delighted to have an extra dose of Dulce de leche. His ritual of lighting up a cigar at the fire camp inviting everyone to build new memories.
Let us remember his legacy and the joy that he brought in our lives
In that exact moment, as you hold your breath, time stands still, and every heartbeat echoes determination.
Enjoy the Outdoors for a Healthier, Happier You 🌿
Did you know that spending time outside is great for your health and mood?
🌞 Studies show that being in nature reduces stress by half! 📉 It also boosts your mood and helps you feel more creative and relaxed. 🚶♂️ Plus, just 20 minutes outside can improve your focus and concentration! ⏳
So, next time you feel overwhelmed, step outside and let nature work its magic. 🌳 Your mind and body will thank you! 💫
Time to secure your spot!
Inti Malal is set to open its doors next month, and believe me, 2024 promises even more than you can imagine. 😉

FISHING WITH KIDS 🎣
Yes, fishing with kids is possible! We won’t lie; it’s different from the solitary pursuit of landing big catches. Fishing with kids is CHALENGING. But believe me, it’s fun, and witnessing them develop a strong connection to nature is worthwhile.
When discussing our future, we always envisioned helping our kids develop a passion for outdoors. Invest time in these type of programs is worthy.
Here our tips
1. LOCATION: Choose nearby spots with open space, room for kids to cast, easy access to water, and shaded picnic areas. 📍
2. START AT HOME: Talk about the day out at home to build excitement. Allow kids to practice casting in the yard, they will work on coordination and timing in a low-stress environment.✏️
3. GET READY: Organize gear in advance to minimize stress. Prepare at home all you can!🎣
4. SAFETY FIRST: Ensure kids wear life jackets, even if they’re uncomfortable. Consider using barbless hooks, and if not, adults should handle hooks. Pack a first-aid kit. Sunglasses protect eyes from the sun, tree branches or hooks.🧰
5. TEACH THEM THE RULES: Educate kids about conservation and the environment. 🏕️
6. COMFORT: Ensure essential items like snacks, drinks, sunscreen, bug spray, and suitable clothing are available. Camping chair for mommy and daddy and a blanket for relaxing/napping. 🍎🧢🕶️
7. TAKE TURNS! It’s essential for parents to enjoy this day as well. Alternate taking care of the crew and look for some moments for your own fishing enjoyment. While you may not have the same freedom to fish together as you did before having kids, this is simply part of the new family dynamic. Its our new normal.👨👩👧
📌 Extra tip: invite grandparents 😂
8. HAVE FUN: Remember, kids care more about having fun outdoors with you than what they catch. Be patient and focus on creating an amazing experience. Take breaks from fishing to explore, catch butterflies, collect rocks, or swim. 🌾🌲🦋
📌 Extra Tip! Keep trips short when kids are younger. Avoid to get them bored or to tired.
Remind, the goal is to have fun and create lasting memories together 💛 ☀️
Do you have some tips to share?

En memoria a Lilu • 1941-2023 •
Estarás presente siempre en aquel arroyo de Tres Picos, que te cobijo y protegió, regalándote una nueva vida y tranquilidad.
Tu amor por este lugar, por tu jardin, por tus rosas.
Ahora estarás abrazando a tu hermano Carlitos, mirándonos desde ese cielo puro que nos regala la Patagonia.
En esa brisa de viento que nos acaricia cuando vadeamos el Malleo, cuando miramos el Lanin, cuando cabalgamos entre las araucarias, o en las flores de Tres Picos, te recordaremos con cariño y amor.
In memory of Lilu • 1941-2023 •
You will always be present in that Tres Picos stream, which sheltered and protected you, giving you new life and tranquility.
Your love for this place, for your garden, for your roses.
Now you are hugging your brother Carlitos, looking at us from that pure sky that Patagonia gives us.
In that breeze of wind that caresses us when we wade through the Malleo, when we look at the Lanin, when we ride among the araucarias, or in the flowers of Tres Picos, we will remember you with affection and love.

If you're a bird lover, Argentina is a dream destination for you! 🐦 It's home to over 1000 species of birds and millions of them migrate here each year. One of the most popular activities is bird watching, but there is nothing quite like experiencing the beauty of a bird in its natural habitat. Andean condors soaring in the sky or just enjoying the activity of going around for it self, there's something for everyone. 🌅
But, bird watching is just the tip of the iceberg. At Argentina, we love spending time in the great outdoors, whether it's hiking, fishing, or simply admiring nature's majesty. Our breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife make it the perfect destination for adventure seekers. 🌄

There's something magical about lunch or dinner time, isn't it? There's just something about sitting around the table with the people we love that makes the food taste even better, the conversations flow freely, and the laughter come more easily. And you know what the best part is? Having the chairs filled with people who matter to us.
It made me realize just how important relationships truly are. We all lead such busy lives, and it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day hustle and bustle. But at the end of the day, it's those relationships that truly matter. They give us a sense of belonging, a support system to lean on, and memories to cherish for years to come.
So, take some time today to reach out to those special people in your life. Let them know just how much they mean to you, and try to make some plans to gather around the table together soon. Trust me, it'll be worth it. After all, there's nothing like having the chairs filled with your people.
Thanks to all of you that have join us for dinners or outdoor experiences, you are part of the reason we love what we do.
