Meet & greet from our team in EZE upon arrival, you will be driven to the lodge in conformable vehicle (AC equipped transfers with mini bar on board). Enjoy lunch and your shooting begins right at the same arrival afternoon, that’s a big plus compared to Cordoba option that you normally lost your first day of hunting due to travel. Your final day has a morning shoot before you depart for the airport and we can easily arrange extension travel for different side trips or a day or two in Buenos Aires.
Santa Rosa lodge is located approximately 150 miles or 2 ½ hour northwest from Buenos Aires’s airport. Situated within the Entre Rios agricultural area where thousands of acres are planted in corn, wheat, sunflowers and sorghum annually which provides the perfect habitat to hold birds on the property. There are 6 dove shooting areas around the property, all of which are within 10-25 minutes of the Lodge. This combination of roosting, nesting and foraging habitat provides the key elements necessary to provide the best and most conveniently located dove shooting destination. This region grants unparalleled Doves shooting by mornings as also during afternoons.
Santa Rosa lodge location offers nearby Golden Dorado spots at the famous Parana river. Full day outings chasing the Golden beast, a freshwater tiger only comparable with Tarpon and Wahoo challenge. The Parana River is the largest River in Argentina and it's delta area is one of the largest in the world providing different options for the Golden Dorado. For those that are looking for a fishing tour after the dove hunting, we can also organize fishing outings & options at Uruguay River just a couple of ours away from Santa Rosa lodge. These other options can be done in combination with our partner Lodges/Posadas in the Uruguay area.
Our days start by sun rise with a wake up call and shortly after breakfast we leave for the flyways or fishing spots. For the morning and afternoon Doves hunts hunters are situated in traditional stands accompanied by a guide and bird-boy ready to assist you in every aspect of the hunt.

SEASONS & OPTIONS IN THIS RANCH
"AHO and his team are some of the best around! Not only are they professional but also take the time to add in traditional Argentine culture. Wing shooting was unmatched and very comfortable for both young and elderly. With accommodations for lodging and food that far exceed the standard hunt, and companionship that builds relationships for a lifetime, I wholeheartedly recommend AHO"
