American Airlines is our preferred carrier and starting in the summer of 2018 will begin offering direct, non-stop flights Miami-Santa Cruz-Miami. If you need assistance with airfare from your hometown please contact the Trek office.
American Airlines arrives Santa Cruz Bolivia at 7:30am this morning where outfitter Jose "Mozo" Vidal or someone from Pigeon Palace will be on hand to greet you and help clear your guns. After clearing immigrations and customs, you’ll transfer a bit over 4 hours to Pigeon Palace.
You will have time to settle in before heading to the fields for your first round of shooting this afternoon.
These days will be full hunting days. Every morning we will have an early breakfast at the lodge and then leave for the fields. Your shotgun shells and pick up boys will be waiting for you when you get to the fields.
Normally, you will shoot all morning, break for lunch and a siesta at the lodge, and then head back out for the afternoon shoot. We will be shooting fields of sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers and peanuts. The countryside is very flat with normally small to medium sized-cultivated fields.
Depending on the group and field sizes, we could spread the group into several fields so we can give hunters plenty of room to spread out.
The pigeons normally come in groups of 5-30, making this area heaven for anyone who wants to shoot doubles. Typically, flock after flock of pigeons pour in heavily for two or three hours in the morning, slack off in the middle of the day, and resume flying two or three hours in the afternoon.
Your last day at the lodge will be a half-day of shooting after breakfast
After the shoot you will have plenty of time to shower, pack, and have lunch at the lodge before returning to Santa Cruz in the late afternoon. Your accommodation, meals and activities in Santa Cruz are not included in the package price.
A staff member from Pigeon Palace will pick you up from the hotel today and transfer you to the airport for your scheduled flight back to the States.
