Located at the western side of Cordoba province in the largest irrigated area of Argentina, the peanut, sunflower and sorghum fields in the area together with many acres of roost make this area an incredible habitat for doves and pigeons.
Pioneers at pigeon shooting in the area for 20 years, H&H have joined forces with the Badra family from Villa Dolores to operate Escondido Lodge.
The lodge has eight spacious bedrooms with private bathroom. Four of the bedrooms were built this year and the main lodge was fully renovated in 2018.
The pigeon season runs from the last week in March to the first week in August. The dove season runs year round.
The driving distance to the fields ranges between 15 and 50 minutes in our luxury 9 passenger vans with air conditioning, refreshments and two-way radios. Each client shoots with their own experienced professional bird boy, who will provide shells, act as a loader, retrieve downed birds and keep cool drinks ready.
Shooting continues until noon, when the group gathers in a shady grove of trees for a traditional Argentine asado (barbecue) complemented with salads, gourmet desserts and fantastic wines.
Lunch can also be served at the lodge where you can enjoy a siesta in your air conditioned bedroom. The shoot in the afternoon continues until about 6 pm.
At the lodge, after the hunt, we welcome the shooters with appetizers and a refreshing towel.
