OVERVIEW
This lodge is the most exclusive pigeon shooting lodge in Córdoba. This historical setting is an architectural treasure characterized by an exquisite colonial style. Built in the second half of the 17th century and completely renovated in 2007, the lodge provides style and comfort from which to enjoy the best pigeon shooting experience ever. Here, pigeon hunting takes place the way it’s supposed to, with blinds and decoys and skilled scouting endeavors to ensure success. This is hot-barrel pigeon shooting—and you’d better be ready for it. The world’s most experienced guns rank wild pigeons among wingshooting’s greatest challenges. These pigeons are sly, strong, and fast. And when you’ve shot them well over decoys, you’ve done everything right. Back at the lodge, the chef creates an array of delicious traditional specialties and international dishes. The wine is produced with carefully selected grapes from our own vineyards.
HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES
Cordoba is considered one of the pigeon shooting capitals of the world. The 50 square mile radius (80 km) around the lodge is annually inhabited by over 5 million pigeons. The lodge enjoys 60 shooting fields all within a scenic drive through the region.
A TYPICAL DAY
- The program generally starts at 8:00 AM with a hearty breakfast and a short drive to the shoot. In the field you will be assigned a field assistant, who will provide you with shot shells and refreshments and direct you to your shooting stand.
- Depending on the time of the year, you will shoot till noon when you will be treated to an incredible traditional barbeque lunch at the lodge, tasting some of Argentina’s wonderful beef and the exclusive wine.
- Return to the lodge for cocktails and early dinner.
- Afternoon begins at around 2 or 2.30 hr., and continues until 5 or 6. Return to the lodge for cocktails at the wine cellar and early dinner.
- These birds are large and fast, which make calculating speed a little bit deceptive. They work excellently with decoys.
- We ensure one freshly built blind for each hunter. Decoys are strategically deployed around the blinds, at a suitable distance.
