Everything you want to know before your trip — the lodge, the guns, the travel, and the weather.
Until you've experienced high-volume Córdoba dove hunting for yourself, it's impossible to fully comprehend. The sheer volume of birds can be dizzying and awe-inspiring for first-time visitors.
With estimated dove populations topping 50 million, no bag limits, and a season open year-round, Córdoba is the world's most exclusive and revered dove hunting destination. Groups with multiple hunters can reserve the entire lodge for a private retreat, at rates no other Argentina hunting lodge can match.
The lodge has 10 bedrooms, each with two twin beds and a private bathroom.
The private lodge can be reserved for a group of 10 to 18 shooters, charged on a flat-fee basis — the cost per person goes down as the group grows.
Casual, always — we want you to feel at home at Sierra Brava. In the field, darker-colored or camouflage shirts and pants are recommended; shorts are common in summer.
Starlink internet covers the whole lodge, and there's cell phone service on-site.
Every room and common area has outlets. Argentina runs on 220V, so bring a converter (we can usually supply one) and a European-style adapter for two-pronged plugs.
Tipping is discretionary. House staff tips are collected by the lodge manager and shared among the whole team. For bird boys, we typically recommend $60 per day per hunter — gifts like hats and shirts are appreciated too.

Our inventory includes Beretta and Benelli semi-automatics (20ga), Beretta Silver Pigeon and Fair Premier over/unders (20ga), Beretta 686 Onix (28ga), Benelli Raffaello (28ga), and Browning over/unders (20ga) — all in excellent condition.

We stock 12, 20, and 28 gauge shells, plus .410 on request — ask in advance to confirm availability.
No — Argentine customs will confiscate shells at the airport, and it's an uncomfortable situation to be in. Please don't bring them.
No. Córdoba is about high volume, and plugs aren't required for dove hunting.
Yes, we do!

No special vaccines are required for Argentina — check with your doctor if you have any concerns.
Argentina is considered the safest country in South America, with an educated and friendly population. Like any big city, Buenos Aires deserves a bit of extra care — radio taxis from hotels and restaurants are the way to go.

It used to be common, but most airlines no longer allow coolers on long-distance flights.
We break down each season in detail below — for up-to-the-minute conditions, weather.com is the best source.
Rain is uncommon, and when it falls, it's usually at night.
It's rarely unbearably hot — expect 2 to 3 weeks of very hot days between January and February.
Freezing cold is rare too. It's snowed once at the lodge in recent years — and the birds still flew. Most guests who visit during our June–August "winter" rave about the crisp, cool weather.
About 330 days a year are clear, blue, and sunny — nearly always perfect hunting conditions.
Temperatures drop at night, making for ideal sleeping conditions without air conditioning or heat.
