Cerro de la Cruz—Southern Argentina's best locale for all five game bird species—geese, ducks, doves, pigeons and perdiz.

El Rincon and its sister lodge, Santa Rosa, are both operated by River Plate Wingshooting, one of the pioneering Argentine outfitters who have hosted literally tens of thousands of sportsmen, and who are still among the best of the best operators. Both facilities are true country mansions surrounded by many acres of huge trees and gardens. El Rincon has seven bedrooms and Santa Rosa has five. They are located three hours north of Buenos Aires in Entre Rios Province, in the midst of a region defined by marshland, pothole lakes, grain production and very few human inhabitants. The nearest towns are Gualeguay and Gualeguaychu. Here you will find Argentina’s best combination of ducks, perdiz and high-volume dove hunting.

Outfitter Floro Lavalle is a fourth generation Argentine of German pioneer descent, who has spent his entire life hunting, fishing and adventuring in southern Buenos Aires Province. He has two beautiful lodges, both of which are huge, European-style private homes and both of which are located on large private ranches. Floro lives and hosts hunters in his home, El Retiro and also accommodates parties in his nearby Cerro de la Cruz. This region is the only part of Argentina that is host to abundant populations of all of Argentina's game birds — ducks, geese, doves, pigeons and perdiz. The nearby town of Sierra de la Ventana is a summer destination for vacationing Argentines, who enjoy the beautiful scenery, golf, fishing, hiking, shopping and other activities.

La Posada (inn, in Spanish) is a beautifully restored and renovated small hotel built in the 1860s. Positioned near Goya along the bank of the Parana River in the far northeastern part of the country, the facility was once the military headquarters of a famous Argentine general. It has six bedrooms and features a beautiful patio overlooking the river and surrounding gardens. Goya is the main town in a huge ranching and agricultural area, and is surprisingly sophisticated for a farming town — they have a large and very nice casino, for example. Miles & Miles Outfitters have chosen this site for the vast numbers of ducks of many species, large numbers of perdiz and enjoyable optional shooting for decoyed pigeons.
