Estancia La Ninette

Estancia Ninette is hard to beat; with amazing views of the Rio Negro, high volume Dove on the property, and a staff with a high attention to detail.

The Trip: This adventure is seven days and six night trip with four days of hunting. Your trip starts in Miami with an overnight flight on American Airlines arriving in Montevideo, Uruguay at midday. Our staff will meet the group in customs and transfer you to the lodge either by truck or an optional charter flight. Upon arrival to the lodge, you will have that first afternoon for a half day shoot. The next three days, depending on the season, will be full days of hunting, with Perdiz in the mornings and dove in the afternoon or dove shooting in the morning and afternoon. After the last morning hunt you will transfer back to Montevideo to catch your overnight flight back to Miami.

The Accommodations: The Estancia Ninette will be our hunt headquarters and is the only originally designed hunting lodge in Uruguay.

The lodge haseight bedrooms with private baths, a large living room with a fireplace that overlooks the Rio Negro, and a very nice indoor barbecue pit. Owner Hector Sarasola will have his own private chef at the lodge preparing meals featuring beef, chicken, game, salads and fine Uruguayan wines. In true hospitable fashion you can even wet a line for Dorado in the river that is virtually in your backyard.

The Hunting: Each day starts with a full breakfast before you lace up you boots to either shoot over one of Hector’s Brittany Spaniels or let the lead fly at the high volume dove shoots. During Perdiz season each pair of hunters will have their own guide and dog as they work their way over hay fields chasing the quick flying Perdiz. The Perdiz is an upland bird found mostly in singles, so lots of points and 30+ flushes are to be expected per hunt. After a Uruguayan barbecue “Asado”, you will have an afternoon of dove hunting where you can expect to shoot 30-60 boxes.
