Estancia Cortaderas

Trek Safaris and Ariel Semenov are proud to introduce the newest dimension in Argentine hunting lodges. Estancia Cortaderas was designed for the well traveled wingshooter who wants five star accommodations and high volume dove shooting.

The Trip:  Each trip is seven days, six nights with three full and two half days of shooting. Trips begin in Miami with a late evening departure and an overnight flight to Buenos Aires. A Trek representative will assist you clearing your guns and then transfer you to the domestic airport for your flight to Santa Fe, where you will be met and driven to Estancia Cortaderas for an afternoon hunt. Activities for the next three days are dove in the morning and again in the afternoon.  The last day you will have a morning dove hunt, and then be driven back to Santa Fe for your flight to Buenos Aires.  A Trek rep will meet you and transfer you to the international airport for your flight home. You arrive in Miami the morning of day seven.

The Accommodations:  Estancia Cortaderas is located about 60 miles North of Parana City in the small town of Hernandarias. The lodge sits on the cliffs 150 feet above and overlooking the vast Parana River.

Views of the river are attained from all points within the lodge. The construction is of colonial style that is typical of the estancias in along the Parana River. Cortaderas has all the features of a modern, luxury hotel and provides a level of comfort not yet reached by other estancias including a spa, steam room and massage suite. Meals include offerings of some of the finest Argentine beef available and accompanied by an excellent selection of wines from the cellar.

The hunting:  Dove shooting in the Parana/Entre Rios Region is nothing short of incredible and Trek has been hunting here since 1986. The Hernandarias area is known for its agriculture. Corn, soy beans, sorghum and wheat are all part of the landscape, and Dove love it. We have all Eared Dove, which is almost identical to our Mourning Dove. Dove season is year round and you can shoot 1,500-2,000 rounds per day.  Parana River has many islands full of trees where the Dove roost each night.  Your host will be George Pavon who has been outfitting for Trek the last 17 years. Also during the months November-March (spring and summer in Argentina), we can arrange some exciting Dorado fishing in the Parana River. We have boats, motors and guides.
