Built on the tradition of over 20 years of pigeon shooting experience from David Denies, the new lodge at La Dormida offers the most exclusive pigeon-shooting accommodation ever offered in Cordoba.
Even before the acclaim from Argentina’s journals of design and decoration, David Denies was famous for its unparalleled service. And true to form, our staff at La Dormida have been specially trained in the fine art of caring for private parties. 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!
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 David Denies’ standard has no equal, and makes a visit to Cordoba a shooting holiday without peer.
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 40.000.000 million dove. The lodge enjoys 55 shooting fields all within a scenic drive through the region’s rich farmland.
Each day the lodge donates hundreds of doves to local public dining rooms in the area.
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 pick up boy, who will provide you with shells and refreshments and direct you to your shooting stand.
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 close the shoot.
Return to the lodge for cocktails and early dinner.
Climate
Dove shooting is available at all times of year in Cordoba, so clothing can vary from light short-sleeved shirts to light fleece jackets in the winter season. Cordoba does get some seasonal rain, so please plan on taking at least a light rain jacket or windbreaker.
