Summary
La Dormida is the newest and most exclusive dove shooters accommodation ever offered in Cordoba, which has already received acclaim from Argentina’s journals of design and decoration. La Dormida was built in direct response to requests from its clientele for a private lodge in which to entertain family and business colleagues.
From the moment you arrive in Argentina, our service is personalized and attention is paid to every imaginable detail, from airport reception, to uniformed bird boys in the field.
The Lodge
La Dormida is in the secluded foothills of the Sierras Chicas, and you and your private party can enjoy the comforts of a lodge you can call your own, in complete seclusion.
The Lodge will house as many as 12 dove shooters in style and comfort in 7 bedrooms with private baths.
La Dormida is newly constructed, and the amenities and design of the lodge reflect thoughtful details that will be appreciated by visiting shooters.
The staff at La Dormida has been specially trained in the art of caring for private parties. From our seasoned field staff, who will keep you under Cordoba´s infamous flights of dove, to our household and kitchen staff, you will find that all are ready and waiting to serve you with speed and grace.
Meals at La Dormida feature the very best Argentine beef and other meats, and our menus are prepared by one of Argentina's best chefs. Carefully selected Argentine vintages complement field lunches and dinner in the lodge -- and indeed, the wines alone make La Dormida worthy of a visit!
The Shooting
Cordoba is considered the dove shooting capital of the world. The 100 square mile radius (160 km) around the lodge is annually inhabited by over 40 million dove. The lodge enjoys 55 privately held shooting fields all within a scenic drive through the region’s rich farmland. Each day the lodge donates hundreds of doves to children's charities and public dining rooms in the area.
Shooting out of La Dormida lodge normally takes place in the nearby hills, driving only minutes to the several different fields, including flat lands, which provide excellent and continuous shooting.
The program generally starts at 8:00 AM with a hearty breakfast and short drive to the shoot.
In the field you will be assigned a field assistant, who will provide you with shells and refreshments and direct you to your shooting stand.
Normally the shooting is situated in a flyway, where the doves are flying to and from their roost to grain fields to feed.
You will be visited frequently by your head guide who will be available to assist you with any need, and even give you some tips on your shooting if required.
Depending on the time of the year you will shoot till noon when you will be treated to an incredible barbeque lunch, shaded by a comfortable safari tent, tasting some of Argentina’s wonderful beef and superb wines.
Afternoon begins at around 2 or 2:30 hr., and continues until almost dark. There is no definite time to end the shooting day.
Return to the lodge for cocktails and early dinner.
