Río Cochamó flows through one of the most spectacular and remote corners of Chilean Patagonia in the Los Lagos Region, draining a rugged mountain basin before emptying into the Estuario del Reloncaví. This is a large alluvial river system set against a backdrop of ancient temperate rainforest, dramatic granite peaks, and the wild landscapes that define southern South America. The river has a rich salmonid history — Chinook salmon eggs were first introduced to the Cochamó basin as early as 1924, making it one of the original stocking sites in Chile, and the river has since developed self-sustaining populations of introduced salmonids that draw anglers from across the globe. The combination of remote wilderness, pristine water, and the opportunity to pursue large trout and salmon in a truly wild setting makes Río Cochamó one of the most compelling fishing destinations in Chilean Patagonia.
