FOUR SHOOTING DAYS
You can download the print-friendly version to read carefully from here.
DAY 1: BUENOS AIRES
Arrive in the morning, where you are met at the airport and assisted with your guns and baggage.
You have the option of going straight to the lodge, a four to five hour drive, or
spending a few days in Buenos Aires. The choice is yours, but we recommend at least a day in the city.
Buenos Aires is one of the most interesting cities in South America and it’s well worth spending a few days exploring it. With wide boulevards for walking, excellent restaurants and lively nightlife that lasts until dawn, it’s sometimes called the “Paris of Latin America.” The music and restaurant scene is among the best anywhere, and Carlos Sanchez & Co. will gladly arrange a visit of a few days so you can get to know “B.A.”, as it’s commonly called.
Security in Buenos AiresForget your preconceptions about South American cities. B.A. is clean, well laid out for walking, and as safe as any large city in the United States.
The hotels are well run, and one of the best in the world,
The Alvear Palace, is a favorite with our guests. Located in an upscale neighborhood near the city center, some of the best steakhouses in Argentina are around the corner in the Recoleta area.
If you prefer to go straight to Los Ombues and bypass Buenos Aires, an o
verland transfer from the airport takes about five hours. A charter flight can be arranged from the domestic or international airports in Buenos Aires directly to
Los Ombues, or in some cases to Rosario.
Direct flights to Los Ombues take about an hour. Flights to Rosario also take about one hour, followed by a one and a
half hour land transfer to the lodge.
Flights within Argentina, hotels or sightseeing in Buenos Aires are not included in the trip price. Los Ombues can take care of these arrangements for you and will quote a price based on prevailing rates.
Arrive Los Ombues, unpack and have lunch. In the afternoon you will go
shooting with your guides.
There is shooting very close to the lodge, and you won’t spend a lot of time in transit.
DAY 2 - 4: LOS OMBUES LODGE
After an early breakfast, leave the lodge around 7:30am with your shooting assistants and drive to your shooting area, where the guide helps you pick out the best locations.
If you are shooting for dove, September through April, you will go into the field after breakfast, and shoot all morning until the lunchtime break. The break lasts long enough to have a good meal and rest your arm, before resuming shooting for the afternoon.
Shooting VolumeThis is high volume shooting, so the mid-day break is appreciated. You’re usually back in the lodge around 6:00 pm.
There is also some golden dorado fishing on the property. So, if you like, you can include some fishing as well. You will need to bring your own fishing gear for the dorado. Any outfit you would normally use for bass fishing will suffice, but you will need some wire bite-guards to keep the fish from biting through your leader.
DAY 5: MORNING SHOOT, AIRPORT TRANSFER, FLIGHTS HOME
Shoot in the morning, then return to Buenos Aires International Airport (EZE) after lunch. International flights typically depart EZE in the evening, so there is plenty of time to enjoy a final half-day of dove shooting before leaving.
If you want to avoid the four to five-hour drive, a flight may be arranged to either the international airport or the domestic airport.
