Uruguay Travel -Uruguay Hunting and Uruguay Sites
Uruguay Trip - Los Gauchos OutfittersLos Gauchos Outfitters is more than a Uruguay hunting outfitter. While we do rank as one of the leading Uruguay duck hunting, dove hunting, pigeon hunting and Perdiz hunting providers, Los Gauchos is also a travel resource for those wanting to see the country of Uruguay.
Los Gauchos operates year round. The Uruguay dove hunting and pigeon hunting is available year round. Uruguay dorado fishing is also a top ranked freshwater fishing adventure that only Los Gauchos can provide along with dove hunting in the northwest areas of Uruguay.
Uruguay is a small country and will fee like you you have stepped back in time. Montevideo is the landing city and largest city in Uruguay. WIth just over 2 million, Montevideo is home to the business and financial centers of Uruguay and the main seaport that exports several of the crops that makeup the majority of farmland in Uruguay.
This is one big reason why the duck hunting and dove hunting is so good in Uruguay. The crop fields of sunflower and corn in the northwest part of Uruguay create a feeding ground for millions of doves.
Bird hunting in Uruguay is not a sport that is popular and Uruguay seems to miss out on the tourists that land right next door in Buenos Aires. So, Los Gauchos has disclosed the secret. Uruguay and bird hunting is here to stay and will continue to become one of the popular duck hunting or dove hunting or even pigeon and Perdiz hunting trips for seasons to come.
Uruguay is a peaceful country with now easy access via American Airlines. American Airlines provides direct service to Montevideo out of Miami. The flight departs at 11 PM, and Miami is a major hub so anywhere you call home - you can find your way to Fort Lauderdale or even Miami International and board the direct flight to Montevideo.
Flights arrive at 9 AM into the Montevideo International Airport and hunting takes place the day of arrival. Duck hunters head for the duck blinds and dove hunters prepare to load, shoot, reload, take a step back and think "no one will believe the volume of doves I am seeing right now in Uruguay". So, do not forget your camera and get ready for some Uruguay dishes that will amaze you and fine wines that are grown locally in several of the vineyards of Uruguay.
