Where you will hunt

Territory

Ideally located in the fertile lowland Pampas region in the province of Buenos Aires, Estancia Santa Rita is home to an incredible duck population. Many of our hunts take place at the numerous potholes and lagoons that surround the property. The unique duck habitat in this region along with extensive grain production have created ideal waterfowl conditions by providing hundreds of potholes that serve as feeding and roosting areas. The duck hunting areas are conveniently located close to the estancia home. With a maximum driving time of 50 minutes from lodge to blind, guests enjoy longer hunts and more reasonable wake-up times than what other operations may offer.

All guests stay in the main home of the Estancia. Santa Rita lodge is a good looking English style mansion; very impressive, attractive and comfortable.

It has 6 spacious bedrooms and 5 private baths for guests, although in case of large or simultaneous groups an extra room + bath can be added, making a total of 7 rooms with 6 private baths. The lodge allows for the possibility of having up to 10 guests at one time.
