CUISINE

At this fantastic lodge, you will have the opportunity to enjoy an amazing Argentinian barbecue. We usually prepare it for lunchtime with the best loin, beef, and sausage. All this will be combined with great wines, such as Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, from the provinces of Mendoza or San Juan. At night you will be delighted with authentic Argentinian cuisine which includes red meat, pork, or chicken. You can also request special dishes if you have any food-related disease or personal preference. We are sure you will enjoy it and be delighted by our chef!

ACCOMMODATIONS

We believe that your experience at the lodge is just as important as your experience hunting or fishing. Our team goes to great lengths when you are with us to ensure you have the best vacation possible.

Our Lodges are primarily Argentine Estancias built by the Cattle Barons of the Early 20th Century. They were built with luxury and relaxation as the main goal.

After an exciting day in the field or on the water, you will be met by our staff and treated as if you were the Cattle Baron of yesteryear. Cold drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and a relaxing fire allow you to unwind from the glorious day afield and once you are thoroughly relaxed you will be called to the table and served a meal prepared by some of the finest chefs in Argentina.

Many of our clients say that hunting and fishing bring them to Argentina but that our lodges and staff bring them back to us.

Water Buffalo - The Hunt

The water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is a large bovid originating in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and China. Today, it is also found in Europe, Australia, and in some American countries like Argentina and Uruguay. 

The origins of the domestic water buffalo types are debated but at least 130 million domestic water buffalo exist, and more human beings depend on them than on any other domestic animal. They are especially suitable for tilling rice fields, and their milk is richer in fat and protein than that of dairy cattle.

In Argentina, many game ranches raise water buffalo for commercial hunting. The bull’s horns have a heavy mass and the cow’s horns are narrower but can be just as long as or longer than the bull. An Argentine Water Buffalo can weigh up to 2,500 lbs. which is up to 700 lbs. heavier than the largest African Cape Buffalo at 1,800 lbs. Come to Argentina and enjoy the thrill of a wild buffalo hunt at 1/3 the coast of Africa.

This is a massive, powerful animal, with the widest horn span of any bovid. Adults range in size from 1800 to 2600 pounds, although females typically weigh around 1650 pounds and males upwards of 2200 pounds. It is very dependent on the availability of water. Historically, its preferred habitats are low-lying grasslands and their surroundings. The Water Buffalo eats grass and leafy aquatic vegetation. It is a grazer, feeding in the morning and evenings and lying up in dense cover or submerging in wallows during midday. In addition to keeping it cool, wallowing helps to remove skin parasites, biting flies, and other pests. Where there is a substantial human disturbance, the Water Buffalo becomes mostly nocturnal.
HUNTING SEASON - The hunting season is from March to November, but as these animals are very plentiful, they can be hunted all year round, making this a very exciting up close and personal hunt!

Red Stag - The Hunt

Red Stag (Cervus Elaphus) was introduced into Argentina more than a hundred years ago. The first specimens were brought to the province of La Pampa, and then subsequent imports introduced this magnificent animal into the southern part of the country: Patagonia.

Hunting red deer in Argentina is a truly unique experience, particularly in the region of Patagonia, which is characterized by its wide and big ranges. The stags can be spotted from a long distance. The rutting season usually lasts more than 60 days, providing ample chances to harvest a very nice trophy.

The most common approach is stalking. While stalking, a hunter will approach his or her prey with stealth in order to get into the range with their particular weapon and ensure a clean hit.

The red deer is the fourth-largest deer species behind moose, elk, and sambar deer.

Generally, the male (stag or hart) red deer is typically 175 to 250 cm (69 to 98 in) long and weighs 160 to 240 kg (350 to 530 lb); the female is 160 to 210 cm (63 to 83 in) long and weighs 120 to 170 kg (260 to 370 lb). The tail adds another 12 to 19 cm (4.7 to 7.5 in) and shoulder height is about 95 to 130 cm (37 to 51 in).

HUNTING SEASON - The season goes from March to July, but the most exciting moment to hunt a Red Stag is during the rutting season which is from March 10th to April 6th. The prey is located by the sound of its roar (much like on all bugles) and carefully stalked until seen. Shots seldom exceed 100 meters. This type of hunting requires the use of the five senses plus a sixth one: the sense of the hunter. So remember, the red stag prime roar is from March to mid-April. However, after the roar, the hunting is still excellent, more exciting, and challenging, so you will be able to hunt red deer until July 31st.
