Reservation and POLICIES
Deposit and Reservation Confirmation
A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total booking cost is required at the time of booking to confirm your reservation. Without this deposit, your reservation will not be valid or held. If you anticipate any delays in making the payment, please contact us in advance. We may be able to offer a short extension, at our discretion, to avoid cancellation of your reservation.
Final Payment and Non-Refundability
The remaining balance must be paid no later than 90 days before your scheduled arrival date. This final payment, like the deposit, is non-refundable.
Date Changes
If you are unable to make the originally booked dates, you are allowed to change the dates of your trip within the same season, subject to availability. If you wish to transfer your trip to a different season, your deposit will be forfeited, and a new deposit will be required to secure the new booking. All changes must be coordinated with us in advance.
Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend that all guests purchase travel insurance to protect their trip investment. Travel insurance can provide coverage for unexpected events such as illness, weather disruptions, personal emergencies, or other unforeseen circumstances that may prevent you from traveling. As our deposit and final payments are non-refundable, having travel insurance can offer you peace of mind and financial protection in case of cancellations, delays, or other trip interruptions beyond your control. Please review your insurance options carefully to ensure you are fully covered
Rio Manso Lodge welcomes children ages 12 and over.

Getting To Rio Manso's OPERATIONS
-
Rio Manso Lodge
The nearest airport to Rio Manso Lodge is in the city of San Carlos de Bariloche. You can get flights there through the capital of Buenos Aires. If you have the time, we recommend a couple of days in this beautiful city. When booking flights, you may have to change airports in BA. International flights arrive at Ezeiza (EZE), and most domestic flights depart from Aeroparque Jorge Newbury (AEP). However, it’s worth checking to see if you can catch a flight from Ezeiza (EZE) to Bariloche (BRC). Aerolineas Argentinas usually has one every day. New flights from Santiago Chile are also being added. We recommend allowing at least 4-5 hours between your arrival at Ezeiza and departure from Aeroparque. Although the transfer time runs about an hour, clearing customs, getting your bags, exiting the airport, and checking in for your flight to Bariloche can often take several hours to complete, especially as travel continues its return to normal.
- El Atravesado Lodge
The nearest airport to El Atravesado Lodge is in the city of Esquel (EQS), with regular flights from Buenos Aires. When booking flights, please note that for now there are no flights to Esquel on Tuesdays, so plan your travel accordingly. Most international flights arrive in Ezeiza International Airport (EZE), and domestic flights to Esquel typically depart from Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP). Again, we recommend allowing at least 4-5 hours between your arrival at Ezeiza and departure from Aeroparque. Although the transfer time runs about an hour, clearing customs, getting your bags, exiting the airport, and checking in for your flight to Esquel can often take several hours to complete, especially as travel continues its return to normal. Once in Esquel, we will arrange your transfer to the lodge, which takes approximately two hours by vehicle through some beautiful Patagonian scenery. If you need to arrive in Esquel a day early due to flight schedules, we’re happy to recommend hotels in the area—just let us know, and we’ll be glad to help.
- Float Trips
If you are just doing our Float Trips, let us know and we will let you know about the trip details for your reservations.
Notes:
When going from Ezeiza to Aeroparque, you’ll want to use a reputable transfer service, several of which have booths in the airport. We recommend Manuel Tienda Leon for the transfer. You will find their counter after you exit baggage claim and customs. You can arrange for private car to take you to Aeroparque (recommended) or a bus ride right at their counter; no need to reserve in advance. A private car costs about $60 for the one-hour ride.
The transfer from Rio Manso Lodge to El Atravesado Lodge is a scenic 5-hour drive. Just let us know you want to do a combination trip and we’ll take care of everything.
If you need help planning your trip, we will be more than happy to recommend our go-to travel agency!
