La Portenita Lodge- Cordoba Dove 3-Day 2023

Thank you for your interest in traveling with Trek Safaris on our dove hunt in Cordoba, Argentina to La Portenita Lodge. This itinerary offers you a two full and two half days of shooting based on the itinerary is this planner.

Cordoba is the dove capital of the world estimating the dove population to be in the neighborhood of 32 million birds. With huge tracts of agriculture and few known predators, the dove population has exploded and continues to do so. The South American eared dove is similar in size and appearance to the North America mourning dove except the eared dove has a shorter tail. But the chief difference between the two is the eared dove pattern of flying the entire day, which allows us to hunt all day even in inclement weather. This is a shotgunner’s dream and is not uncommon to shoot 3-4 cases of shells per day and more. A typical hunting day starts with wake up call around 7:00am and after a full breakfast, we will load into the vans for the drive to the field. Your pick-up boy will meet you in the pre-scouted field with plenty of shells and cooler of cold drinks. Shooting should be steady until lunch where a full Asado is served consisting of local cuts of beef, chicken and pork, accompanied by excellent salads, fresh bread and fine wines. After lunch we will continue to shoot until late afternoon when the sun starts to set and then make our way back to the lodge for cocktails and appetizers followed by a full dinner and wines.

La Porteñita is situated on top of a hill with magnificent views and is nestled in a beautiful country setting within the confines of a working Argentine Estancia, making for a unique Hunting experience. The Lodge has been in operation since 1996 , but was just remodeled to meet our high standards of customer service. La Porteñita has six large bedroom in the main house and a separate villa with three additional double bedrooms with private bath.
