Intro - Malalcue Lodge - 5 night

Thank you for your interest in traveling with Trek Safaris to Argentina for a mixed bag program at Malalcue Lodge. This itinerary offers you four full and two half days of shooting based on the schedule in this planner. Please review and let me know if you have any questions.

With all the newest improvements in travel and accommodations, one lodge has been an unwavering rock in the hunting community and that lodge is Malalcue. Once enjoyed by a wealthy family from Buenos Aires as a vacation home, this lodge was outfitted to cater to groups of traveling sportsmen while still maintaining the charm from yesteryear. Malalcue is a wonderful lodge full of charm and culture as many hunters still enjoy the feeling of being at a hunting lodge and not resort. Outfitter Ariel Semenov has made many changes to provide the comforts of these “resorts” without loosing the character of Malalcue. The lodge has six deluxe rooms with new bedding, five remodeled bathrooms, a brand-new massage room and spa, along with re-designed porch and foyer to enjoy that cocktail and cigar. Excellent cuisine, impeccable service and instant camaraderie are all the more reason to visit Malalcue Lodge.

Sportsman traveling to the Corrientes Region of Argentina will take an overnight flight fromtheUSlandinginBuenosAires.ATrekrep will meet you and assist your group when arriving then transfer you to the domestic airport for the flight to Santa Fe. Ariel Semenov will meet you in Santa Fe and drive you to the Malalcue Lodge, stopping on the way for an afternoon dove hunt. The following three or four days are full hunting days. On your last day you will shoot in the morning only, and then transfer back to Santa Fe and fly to Buenos Aires connecting with your flight home. Guest may also elect to reserve a private charter, which Trek will be happy to assist with all arrangements.

While other mixed bag outfitters use several different lodges all hours apart, Malalcue gives hunters the ability to shoot duck, dove, perdiz and pigeon all out of the same lodge day after day. In recent years, the pigeon population around the Corrientes Region has thrived due to the increase and expansion of agricultural practices allowing Trek to now offer two full days of pigeon hunting, practically unheard of on a mixed bag program. The decoying pigeon hunts will be built around the ever-popular Perdiz flushed by pointers and spaniels along with morning hunts for ducks. This area of Argentina is a migratory interstate for a variety of South American duck species and from May through August, one of the most populated. Doves are shot mostly in roost areas and quite possibly the most fun of all the species we hunt. You’ll see these fast birds buzzing through trees and only giving you a split-second to squeeze off several shots, but still expect to shoot 500+ rounds in an afternoon. The beauty of Malalcue is you do not loose hunting days by traveling around Argentina searching for each species; just relax and enjoy the hunting.
