Hunting and Fishing in Uruguay

Hunting and fishing in Uruguay is now more popular than ever before. Los Gauchos Hunting and fishing operations in Uruguay are operating on full tilt, finishing another record season.

Our Uruguay Duck Hunting Club is stronger than ever after just now several seasons of operation, and the newest addition to our Uruguay Hunting programs has been clipped by the press and proudly shown on TV in the following shows that are on the air right now: Benelli’s American Safari (hosted by their own Product manager Jason Evans, and Pheasant’s Forever VP Joe Duggan) and Life in the Open (TRCP Foundation). Both episodes cover a day or two in the life of Hunting in Uruguay with Los Gauchos Outfitters. Our Hunting Trips to Uruguay for ducks, doves, pigeons, and Perdiz set the standard not only for Uruguay Outfitters, but all South American bird hunting outfitters. Our Uruguay duck hunting destinatons stand out for several reasons.

• Professional Hunting Guides with long a long history in the duck hunting business and numerous successful hunting seasons that hundreds of clients boast about.



• Lowest Daily Rates with complete Duck hunting packages: guns included - tips included - lodging - meals - beverages - best Uruguay duck hunting - all included ! Assistance in the US pre-travel and during your travel - help from Uruguay office with needs while you are in Uruguay.



• Enhancements and advancements but "old" school way of duck hunting - true duck hunting like it used to be. In rice fields, marshes with baited fields and ducks that have never seen decoys. Guides and assistants that call and educate you on the various species of ducks found in Uruguay.



• Uruguay Travel easy and affordable - Los Gauchos dares you to compare your duck hunting lease and costs of equipment to getting a roundtrip ticket (that is often ON SALE) and packing a bag for Uruguay. Hunting gear is already in Uruguay including the shotguns, decoys, shotgun shells. Ducks are supplied by the country of Uruguay. Makes it easy to plan and come to Uruguay for duck hunting.

Los Gauchos had added and upgraded several of the Uruguay hunting destinations. We now have 2 lodges fully committed to the best duck hunting in Uruguay. We did take the requests of our clients who do enjoy the afternoon Perdiz hunting in Uruguay, so with our Fortin Lodge Uruguay duck destination, Perdiz hunting is available in combination with the Uruguay duck hunting.

These 2 Uruguay duck hunting lodges focus on the waterfowl of Uruguay - ducks and a wide variety of them. The set-up is on rice farms and the professional guides scout and bait the area continuously to provide consistent duck hunting the entire Uruguay duck hunting season.

May, June, July or August are all good for the duck hunting in Uruguay. For those wanting to add Perdiz hunting to their duck hunts, you must do so during the Perdiz hunting season which is May to the end of July.

One lodge is based on the Los Gauchos concept of classic duck hunting. Among acres of rich Uruguay farmland, the Uruguay Duck Hunting Club in Rio Branco is a scene for the true waterfowl hunter. Duck hunting is all day and the blinds are about 5 to 15 minutes from the lodge.

Rooms are double occupancy each with a private bathroom. The large living area is the main meeting area with fire always burning and to keep with modern technology, wireless internet and satellite t.v. are now a part of the Uruguay Duck Hunting Club.

Food is served family style and the delicious fare from Uruguay, Argentina, and Italy will have you wonder what the term "diet" or "low carbohydrates" means. An array of fresh vegetables, fruit, premium beef, and handmade bread and italian pasta dishes are just the norm for the Los Gauchos Uruguay duck hunting week.

Quality accommodations, cuisine, and inspired service are all a part of what is The Los Gauchos Experience—and it is all here at your fingertips at:

Here are your choices: you can book your trip through an “Adventure” travel agency, or you can book with Los Gauchos Outfitters. We only accept direct bookings, which saves you 20% or more on your trip. In addition, gratuities are included when you book with Los Gauchos—a not so insignificant expense; it will amount to hundreds of dollars, so why leave it on the table. Why are gratuities included at Los Gauchos? Because we are not booking agents, we are there with you on this trip and our staff is well paid and motivated, expecting nothing more from you than your patronage. We are not saying that if you book through an agency that you will not have a good trip.

Wingshooting in Uruguay is no different than any other country; there are those who have had good Hunting Trips in Uruguay, and those who have not. The outfitter usually IS the difference between good and bad—not necessarily good or bad hunting, but the way the overall experience is handled. We know what we have to offer you, and we have the references to back it up. If you choose to go Bird Hunting in Uruguay with us, you have our guarantee that your trip will be handled professionally, from the first arrangement until the last—that’s our promise, and if you have done your homework on our operation, you will find that many others—from the industry pros to the average guy—will say the same in almost all cases.
