The Outfitter- The outfitter for Guayascate are brothers Alex and Zeke Hayes who form the reputable H&H Outfitters offering the best dove shooting trips in Cordoba for over 20 years. Trek Safaris is proud to partner with H&H to promote this exciting new property that will revolutionize the upscale shooting market for many years to come. It is through their experiences of owning and operating four other deluxe lodges in Cordoba that inspired them to create this wonderful new masterpiece.

 

The Hunting- It is estimated that there are over 35 million eared dove in the Cordoba Province and climbing. Due to its rich agriculture and lack of natural predators, the dove here are actually a pest to farmers and the general populace so hunters are a welcome sight to the region. It is doubtful you will ever encounter so many dove in a single moment, hour or day than what you will see here in the Piquillin trees where the eared dove roosts. In fact, the property at Guayascate is actually full of these Piquillin roosts making drives to the fields a matter of minutes in most cases. Unless you request it, you will not shoot the same fields twice. Hunting season is year round and we are offering three and four day hunts.

 

The Accommodations- Guayascate is 18,000 square feet of pure luxury with ten expertly appointed rooms that allow group sizes to be small and intimate with single rooms or double up for as much fun as you wish. The exterior design of local Mora rock and Quebracho hardwoods, contrasts smartly with the magic of one of the best interior designers in Buenos Aires who has left her touches of contemporary patterns of leather, tapestries and local artifacts throughout the lodge. With huge windows and doors framed in beautiful Quebracho, the sunlight is your friend in most areas of the lodge and highlights the cleanest of looks.

 

So you just want to relax? Well the lodge features an infinity swimming pool with large fold out chairs, two spacious heated Jacuzzi’s (inside and outside), full spa with massage appointments, a library complete with contemporary readings and a custom expresso machine with international coffees. If you like to be inspired by culinary delights, the chef at Guayascate is one of Buenos Aires’s finest and will offer both local and international cuisine accompanied by the fine South America reds and whites in the lodge’s cellar. No matter where you sit or sleep, the lodge will be heated or cooled and regulated both by modern air conditioning units and naturally by using the large plate glass windows that open in three directions and large ceiling fans.

 

Getting There- The best way to reach Guayascate is to fly into Santiago, Chile and wait in transit for a flight across the Andes into Cordoba International Airport where the staff from Guayascate will meet the group and clear immigrations and customs before taking the 90 minute drive north to the lodge.
