Leisure, Travel & Tourism - Cerrito, Entre Rios, Argentina
Los Laureles lodge is one of the world's finest mixed bag wingshooting destinations. In Argentina, it has unarguably been the finest mixed bag hunting destination for the last twenty six years. Surrounded by rivers and white sand beaches, Los Laureles is a hunting and fishing paradise. Situated on several thousand acres of private land, Los Laureles is a large, working ranch with in-house ownership of all land and hunting rights. The lodge itself is in the middle of a lush 4,000 acre parcel which is home to feed lots, cow pastures and cultivated fields growing soy, corn, sorghum, wheat and alfalfa. The result is a magnitude of wild ducks, perdiz, doves and pigeons which is hard to imagine. Our popular mixed bag package (May-August) goes beyond a typical Argentine hunt by combining ducks, perdiz, pigeons, high-volume dove and even freshwater dorado fishing in one unique program. The September-April season is home to our iconic cast & blast package which takes the best of high-volume dove hunting and combines it with the best of Argentina's freshwater dorado fishing. Fishing at Los Laureles is world class due to the fact that one of our property lines is the Parana river which is the largest body of water in the country. Our river bank and boat launch facility is less than a five minute drive from the lodge making fishing a convenient activity to add on any given day. In addition to our close proximity to the river, an additional jewel of our property is our very own dove roost. We are proud to boast having the only operation in the entire province of Entre Rios with a dove roost on our property. While great bird hunting in Argentina sometimes comes at the cost of long drives to the field, our strategic location allows for drives which are by far the shortest among mixed bag lodges. Hunters are able to literally walk to a number of dove blinds located close to the lodge.
