Getting to Uruguay

Flights - Boats = Ground Transfer

Getting to Uruguay is easy and efficient and many times, more than affordable. American Airlines flies a direct flight from Miami to Montevideo three times per week. They sometimes add an extra flight per week, so always check the American Airlines website for the most current schedule. Flights depart Miami at 11 PM in the evening giving travelers lots of options and time to get to Miami, Florida.

The host will meet you at the airport in Montevideo and many times you will hunt the afternoon you arrive into Uruguay.

If you fly into Buenos Aires, Argentina, you have some options (and extra costs to consider). First you will need to see if the airlines you are flying from the U.S. to Buenos Aires has a code share with a South American airline that carries you to Montevideo. If not, you will need to book a short flight from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Montevideo, Uruguay and remember that the flights between these two South American cities depart out of the domestic airport in Buenos Aires (airport code AEP)

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

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.

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.

What can I expect on my Uruguay bird hunting trip?

Uruguay wingshooting... Does it really live up to the hype?

How does it compare to Argentina?

Here are the answers:

Uruguay duck hunting is as good as it gets in the duck hunting world—anywhere. Period. End. Full stop.

Uruguay dove hunting can be compared only to Argentina dove hunting. Period. End. Full stop.

The reality is that Uruguay is a lost province of Argentina; so hunting in Uruguay is hunting in Argentina to a certain degree.

Wingshooting Uruguay, while it might differ politically; the difference ends there. After all, the birds don’t need visas so they cross the borders with ease, migrating in the case of ducks, and for food and weather changes in the case of doves and pigeons.

The dove hunting is high volume - both in Uruguay and Argentina and Los Gauchos is top in both countries. Los Gauchos has the options for any budget, and size group, and any trip you want to experience.
