Argentina Dove Hunting

Experience an Incredible Argentina Dove Hunting Trip Like Never Before!!!

Estancia Los Chañares and Posta del Norte are two of the most reliable dove hunting lodges in Argentina. Our more than 20 thousand acres of private and leased property house a vast number of dove feeding grounds, roosting and nesting habitat. Even though it is impossible to calculate with 100% certainty, it is believed, that more than 20 million doves roost and feed on the vast farmland in which we hunt. There are very few places in the world where one can experience this caliber of dove hunting in a luxury 5-star, resort-style setting. This is what Argentina dove hunting in South America is all about!

Los Chanares : Beretta Trident and
Orvis Endorsed Lodge!

The Beretta Trident Program was launched in 2010 and is the first and only system to rate shooting sports venues. Los Chanares was the first international venue to affiliate with Beretta. Estancia Los Chanares received a Trident Rating in upland bird hunting. Not an endorsement for purchase, “Tridents” are awarded for excellence. While emphasizing the outstanding hunting or shooting experience, the evaluation system rates everything from the food on the table to the kennels, to the lodging to the guides and staff.

In 2015, both FlyWays lodges – Los Chanares and Posta del Norte – were named Orvis Endorsed lodges! Similar to the Beretta Trident Program, Orvis created a program for their most exclusive lodges and outfitters. Each endorsed operation has its own character, but all share the same high standards: great hunting, great service, and first class staff. Los Chanares is one of two operations in the world that are both Orvis Endorsed and affiliated to the Beretta Trident Program! In 2019 Los Chanares was nominated for the 2019 Orvis International Destination of the year! These nominations are given to the best lodges in the world and we are proud to own this nomination.
