Argentina dove hunting

Where we hunt:

All our dove shooting fields are located 50 miles  east from the capital city of Cordoba (Argentina). It provides one of the best dove hunting areas in the world. The dry climate and abundance of foods produces tremendous bird populations. The flight of the doves back and forth between the fields is virtually non-stop and provides a challenging sport. The terrain consist of plains mixed with patches of woods, providing ideal roosting areas next to food-rich fields of wheat, sorghum, corn, peanuts and other crops. Over 1,000 shells per day is the usual.

Lodging facilities:

Guests enjoy very much our beautiful hunting lodge. The main house where hunters stay was built especially for hunters and it is a place that deserves to be known. Each of the 11 double bedrooms has its own private bathroom, air conditioning, heating and guests can enjoy the quiet fire that burns every evening in the dining room´s fireplace.

Outside, the beautiful gardens invite guests to take a walk around the beautiful flower plants and the singing of birds.

Typical dove shooting day in Argentina:

Following an early American breakfast, hunters are transported to the dove shooting fields, located approximately 20 minutes from the lodge. Each hunter is assigned a birdboy who carries the shells, picks up the birds and caters him in every need.

A full lunch, with an Argentinian barbecue and the finest wines, is served in the field. After a short rest, it's time to go shooting again for the rest of the afternoon.

At the end of the day, our guests are welcomed back to the lodge with drinks, followed by dinner.

Other Activities

Cordoba is a province with a lot of history. Guests can visit the city and take a special tour to know the National University, the oldest university in South America. The missions founded by Jesuits in the late 1600s are also very interesting to visit. The old Jesuit "estancias" have been recently included in the list of World Heritage by UNESCO.

Cordoba´s hills and the small towns located near the mountains are other attractions for tourists. The town of Villa General Belgrano, in particular, is a very beautiful destination if you are visiting Cordoba. This town has an exquisite European flavour since it was presicely them, Europeans from Germany, Switzerland and Italy who first settled in the area and originated this European village in the heart of Argentina.
Our guests may also enjoy other activities such as horseback riding or shopping in town.
