4 ALTO PARANÁ LODGE ituzaingó, corrientes, argentina Dorado are simply one of the most exciting and complete gamefish you ll find anywhere. By complete we mean a perfect mixture of things we appreciate as anglers: beauty and ferocity, complex behavior, elegant jumps, and mystery. Although Dorado exist only in South America their environments are diverse from big rivers to small streams, freestones, marshes, and deltas. The clear waters of upper Parana River, where Alto Parana lodge is located, are legendary for its dorado population. Being one of the main arteries of a vast basin, they exist in both numbers and good size. That being said, these fish are tricky, moody, smart, and sensitive. But prepare to be rewarded for the challenge with thrilling, adrenaline-laced fishing. Compared to other fresh and saltwater pursuits dorado stand stall as one of the best. In addition to dorado, this region of the Upper Paraná also boasts two other great freshwater game species: pirá pita (Brycon Orbignyanus) and pacú (Colossoma Mitrei)
