Dove
Santiago del Estero has an estimated population of 20 million eared doves constantly increasing, exceeding today the hunting quality Córdoba offered 20 years ago.
In addition, in 2014 the Wildlife & Fauna Department established a law assigning 30 miles of land for exclusive use of each outfitter to guarantee the species conservation, what results in the most amazing number of doves ever imagined for a bird shooting experience.
The Eared Dove, a fast-flying one, is almost identical to the North American Mourning Dove, being their main difference that the eared dove flies all day long, what ensures non-stop shooting.
On a typical day any time of the year, an experienced hunter can shoot up to 2,000 rounds, mainly fly shoot.

Golden “dorado” fishing
Due to the adrenalin it generates, golden dorado fishing has turned into one of the most sought-after freshwater activities in South America.
Though usually confused due to its name or aspect, the Golden “Dorado” is not a Salmon or a Mahi Mahi. The Salminus maxillosus or brasiliensis, often referred to as the “River Tiger”, is considered one of the most aggressive freshwater species on the planet. It inhabits the tropical basins of South America. It typically ranges from 5 to 10 pounds. It is a quick swimmer. Unpredictable and wary, always offers a tough fight, striking baits fiercely with its razor teeth while it jumps high and jerks hard.
You can experience the best golden “dorado” fishing on the wide fast-flowing Río Dulce with us.
Wet fly, spinning or bait. 2 fishermen + 1 guide per cata raft. Just 20’ from our dove lodges.

The hunting is mainly performed in alfalfa fields at no more than 60 minutes from the lodges, with a professional guide and a dog every two hunters.
