Overview
Golden Dorado on the Paraná River out of Buenos Aires — five or six nights aboard a fully outfitted liveaboard yacht with English-speaking guides and two-to-one angler-to-guide ratios. Dorado are aggressive, acrobatic fish that run hard and hit topwater; under the right conditions anglers average 10 to 30 fish a day. The trip begins and ends with van transfers from Buenos Aires, and the yacht serves as both accommodations and fishing platform throughout. Argentine wine, asado, and empanadas are part of the daily routine. An optional dove hunt day can be added for $350.
