Dove hunting in
Argentina (Córdoba)
Argentina dove hunting takes place in
the central region. This hunting travel
must be experienced rather than explained.
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.
