This is the ultimate Uruguay bird hunting trip. Sure, Argentina dove hunting is hard to beat, but if you want to experience some of the most incredible hunting in Uruguay, this is the ticket. Wave after wave, singles, doubles, triples—entire flocks of doves will continuously fly to your corner of the roost where you will drop the hammer thousands of times a day on the incoming flights of “Eared” Dove. Doves have long been one of the most popular game bird hunting sports. With international travel easier and affordable, dove hunting in Uruguay is quickly becoming a hotspot for the wing-shooter.
Los Gauchos offers a choice for dove hunting lodges in Uruguay. It is an easy trip to arrive in Colonia. Colonia is a great toursit town, friendly, pedistrian friendly, European influences all around. Colonia is not only a prime destination for dove hunting, but for a family vacation this is one of those "secret" cities that will please any traveler.
The Suizo Hotel for dove hunting packages is one option. Another good Uruguay dove hunting trip is the Estancia Elena. Estancias are a common term used in South America to describe a large family home. You can compare it to the Southern Plantation Home in the South. Very unique and exqisite the Estancias are a large part of the Uruguay dove hunting experience.
Elena is open year round as the dove season is 365 days out of the year. There is no "best time" to come for the highest volume. No, the doves are here year round, high volume everyday. Estancia Elena provides some of South America's best Perdiz hunting during the months of May, June and July.
If you have not seen or experienced Perdiz hunting, take a look at the video below and any hunter who is a true waterfowl or wing-shooter enthusiasts knows that the bird dogs are a valuable part of a hunt. Perdiz hunting uses setters and Brittaines to assist with a successful Upland hunt in Uruguay.
Estancia Mercedes is another of the Los Gauchos Uruguay dove hunting destinations. Also providing doves and Perdiz, Estancia Mercedes is located near some rivers that are home to the golden dorado. So, talk about a great Uruguay hunting trip. Doves, Perdiz, and Golden dorado fishing. Check out the pictures and information for this beautiful estancia that is a Los Gauchos favorite and favorite among the wing-shooters around the world.

Dove Hunting in Uruguay
The Golden Eared dove that has been made famous from the thousands of reports by wingshooters returning from dove hunting in Cordoba Argentina can also be extended to the wonderful little country of Uruguay—located just across the rivers from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the Argentine cities of Colon, and Concordia. The Uruguay River divides the Colon and Paysandu (one of our premier locations for Uruguay bird hunting), and Concordia and the city of Salto are opposite in the northern area. Los Gauchos offers excellent fishing in Uruguay in Salto, as well as pigeon hunting.
However, the location featured in this website is our “Paloma Colonia” destination, located in the pristine southern region of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, adjacent to the historic city of Colonia, a city easily accessible in only one hour via a large, fast, and comfortable hydrofoil from the port in downtown Buenos Aires. Many of our customers combine a great weekend in Buenos Aires before and/or after this Uruguay dove hunt.
The dove hunting trip in Uruguay is a 3 day dove hunt including a half day shoot, two full days, and half day shoot on the final day. This gives the wing-shooter and his group an opportunity to explore the country of Uruguay or head over to Buenos Aires and see the big city of South America.
Uruguay dove hunting is one of the most affordable game bird hunts in the world. From $399 a day including just about everything, one can easily budget for dove hunting in Uruguay.
The Colonia region of Uruguay is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country, right behind the beach resort town of Punta del Este. The easy access from Buenos Aires, and the old world charm of the city make it a haven for those who want to experience a “piece of Europe” in South America.
