OK --you've traveled and gone through the changes and charges of the airlines. Well, guess what, travel to Uruguay is easier and rates are good --and best bit of info - BAGS fly FREE! Yep, when you book an international trip on American Airlines (a favorite of Los Gauchos Outfitters) your bags fly free.
American Airlines is the only airline that offers a direct flight to Montevido, Uruguay - the arrival city for Uruguay duck hunting. And mid-season (July), or as we like to describe it, prime duck hunting season, American will add a flight each week, so no reason for you not to experience the Uruguay duck hunting season and take part in the cool winter weather and ducks in Uruguay with Los Gauchos Outfitters.
May is sold out at the Rio Branco Lodge - but still have room at Fortin Lodge.
JULY is open (NEW) for Rio Branco - July 12-17 - remember 5 mins to the duck blinds - this lodge is a favorite of Los Gauchos clients.
Fortin is a new favorite with duck hunting and Perdiz hunting out of the same lodge - and only 3.5 hours from MVD. So book now and don't get left out of the 2010 Uruguay Duck Hunting season.
Contact Los Gauchos today - Duck Hunting season begins May 1st!

Summertime Duck Hunting IN Uruguay and Argentina with Los Gauchos Outfitters
For the avid duck hunter, nothing sounds sweeter than being able to hunt ducks in mid July. At least for me it was, and that is precisley what ignited my passion to make my first trip to Argentina. None of my duck hunting buddies were as convinced as I was that the wingshooting in South America was all that it was purported to be--so none of them were ready to make the investment in airfare and hunt fees to go with me.
So I did what any addict would do--i went it alone, and my agent said that I could join an intact group of hunters for a mixed bag shoot for ducks, geese, and perdiz. I even got my first taste of pigeons, and was happy to have the opportunity to do so, since it's the next best thing to duck hunting in a freshly cut corn field.
The duck hunting in Argentina, and later I found in Uruguay too, is simply the best in the world--better than Canada, better than Mexico, better than you name it. I have hunted all of these places and shot ducks on four continents, and nothing tops suck hunting in South America.
There are so many species of birds, and they are all so plentiful--Silver teal, Speckled teal, Chiloe widgeon, Rosybilled Pochards, and many more. The ducks, plus the Magellan geese, make hunting in Argentina a waterfowl hunting bonanza--it's no wonder that so many repeat...this trip is a once in a lifetime fo some, but for many others, it is an addiction that must be fed yearly.
Fortunatley, it only took one trip and the photos that I took there to convince my friends and family that this was the place for duck hunting. After a few more trips, I knew that the time was right to make my move and start my own operation. That was over ten years ago, and since then we at Los Gauchos have never looked back. It has been an incredible run, and we are now expanding into emerging wingshooting markets like Peru.
Yes, Peru shows a lot of promise to become the next big venue in wingshooting--especially duck hunting. The rice fields there offer great shooting for teal and tree ducks, and dove hunting combos and even Andean goose hunting are a part of the standard package.
When I was asked what country is next for Los Gauchos, I give my standard response, "I don't know right now, but if there is good duck hunting there, there is a good chance of us being there soon!"

Hunting - Singing - Ducks -Uruguay - Argentina - Go!
OK --while most of the blogs are about Uruguay hunting or bird hunting in Argentina and yes, sometimes football (UT Longhorns..heard of them?)--I enjoy writing about events, people, and things I like. So Los Gauchos Outfitters covers all of those subjects but so does singing and the Grammy's are on tonight. While, I admit I'm a "thirty" something year-old, I do love music and the artists that are nominated for the Grammys.
A lot of the songs and music can be compared to hunting with Los Gauchos in Uruguay and Argentina. Now, while the song "Paradise City" and Gun n Roses may start playing in your head...there are many more!
First, the artists today are moving from just pop or just country...think Taylor Swift. She is not only an award winning amazing country artist, but she has become a pop superstar. Los Gauchos Outfitters has moved into the dove hunting, fishing and pigeon hunting areas. Los Gauchos is a popular duck hunting destination - in Uruguay we are number one. From the Los Gauchos Uruguay Duck Hunting Club to the new Fortin Lodge destination, Uruguay duck hunting is our speciality.
Los Gauchos is a Cordoba Argentina reference and resource - with several lodges and rates (that all include a gun and tips), Cordoba is a classic and Los Gauchos is part of that classic - proudly. Kind of like George Strait or Michael Jackson - classic.
Now artists today not only sing, but they dance, play an instrument and capture and keep the public wanting more. Los Gauchos does too. We can provide a 12 ga, 20 ga, fly-rod, book your flight to Santa Fe, Argentina, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Montevideo, Uruguay or get you on the boat to Colonia - AND provide outstanding bird hunting - ducks, doves, pigeons and Perdiz. Los Gauchos is proud to be an artist for the hunting industry and continue to improve and keep our clients interests in mind.
Los Gauchos is proud to provide Uruguay pigeon hunting in the first class resort city of Uruguay - Punta del Este.
So, have fun watching your favorite artist perform or get acquainted with one you didn't know, and become a fan of Los Gauchos, we won't let you down - rock, country, pop, classical - we've got THE song.

Uruguay and Argentina Hunting Trips - Travel Insurance-Los Gauchos
This Is Why You Need Travel Insurance For Your Next Trip:
Every year anglers and hunters spend thousands of dollars on their hunting and/or fishing vacation to South America...and every year some hapless individuals are met with disaster--of one kind or another.
In most cases, the event that ruins their trip is as benign as a missed flight connection, and in other cases, it is something more severe--such as an automobile accident while driving to and from the field. No matter how serious, or how benign the trouble is when it rears its ugly head, you are going to be glad you bought travel insurance. And let us add that Los Gauchos Outfitters provides Sportsman Travel Insurance.
One high quality seller of this insurance makes the claim, "If you can get in there, we can get you out!". When disaster strikes in the African desert, the jungles of Brazil, or deep in the heart of the Andes Mountains, you need coverage that will not only save you money, but time. One call to the insurance company can get the wheels in motion to your rescue. They have access to resources that you will not immediately have on hand (such as the contact info for the best and closest air ambulance operator), and these resources can save your life--because accidents, heart attacks, and strokes are time critical events that need to be dealt with immediately and correctly.
Typically, this coverage that will save your life costs roughly 3% of the cost of your trip, but it varies on a linear scale vis a vis your age. You don't need to buy it, until you need it--much like a raincoat and umbrella--but one is never sorry that they brought it when it starts to rain like hell. Don't get caught out in the rain, unprepared, when it comes to your health and livelihood. If you are injured in a foreign country, the cost of care and transportation back to your home can wipe out your savings at best, and completely ruin you financially at worst.
You play it safe at home. You don't take chances with your family, your health, and your business...yet so many get board an airplane to South America or Africa and suddenly believe that they are bulletproof.
You can pay for your travel insurance when you pay for your trip. If you have any questions, please contact our office-Los Gauchos- for more information, or to buy coverage.

Uruguay Duck Hunting -Los Gauchos Outfitters
Uruguay isn't trendy-it's timeless and we are talking not just about the culture but the duck hunting in Uruguay.
Los Gauchos has two lodges with a focus on the Uruguay duck hunting. And may we say - Fortin Lodge and Rio Branco (THE Los Gauchos Uruguay Duck Hunting Club) will knock your socks off.
Bookings have been strong, but don't worry for those duck hunters enjoying the last bit of North American duck hunting season, Uruguay still has some availability for the 2010 Uruguay duck hunting season.
Come one - yes, Los Gauchos welcomes single shooters, or come all (up to 8 hunters) and Los Gauchos will take you to the best duck hunting in Uruguay.
The Rio Branco or Uruguay Duck Hunting Club is located in the northeast part of Uruguay almost to the Brazilian border. On a private, large rice farm this comfortable lodge is set for the true duck hunter. Don't worry included: warm water, running water, double occupancy rooms, private bathrooms, large living room with satellite tv, and distance to the duck blind that again will knock your socks off! Five to 15 minutes to the duck blind and waders not needed. Oh, let us add as most do NOT - Los Gauchos includes 12 ga guns and all tips to their daily rate.
The Fortin Lodge is also becoming a fast and furious popular Los Gauchos Uruguay duck hunting destination. This lodge is located near the town of Chuy, again the border of Brazil. On and near rice fields and farms, the duck hunting is outstanding and the bonus of Perdiz hunting is available at Fortin.
Los Gauchos is duck hunting and prepping for the Uruguay Duck Hunting Season. After experiencing Uruguay duck hunting, Louisiana duck hunting will seem average.
