This destination is the place where you can shoot the best area for doves and pigeons like in no other place!
The lodge is located on a relative new farming area cultivated with more than 200.000 acres under pivot water irrigation system.
As farmers can control the water, they seed every 15 days (sunflower, corn, sorghum, wheat, soybean) therefore they have harvesting every 15 days assuring year round food available for doves and pigeons.
This farming system makes pigeon hunting available from April until the end of November, when in other country areas is until September. Doves are present year round, without peak season.
The presence of both Doves & Pigeons, both by the millions in our area, makes our lodge without exaggeration a very unique place.
Together with a comfortable brand-new lodge accommodation very near the best hunting places plus high-standard service, makes this lodge into a wingshooting heaven.
As the Lodge is not far from Mendoza you can combine your hunting trip with fabulous wine tours, fly-fishing, golf and other activities.
