Unforgettable Argentine Dove Hunting Adventures: Real Hunter Testimonials
USA
I first shot this spot with Carlos Sanchez before the lodge was built. I have hunted the lodge 7 times since. Each time it gets better. I’ve hunted all over Mexico, Columbia and Uruguay and Los Ombues is by far the best and most professional location I’ve ever found. This includes the hunting, the food, the lodging and the personnel. You can’t go wrong selecting Los Ombues.
I have just returned home from my 10th visit to Los Ombues. The hospitality of the Sanchez brothers and lodge manager Augie Bustos is second to none. Likewise the food and accommodations. The shooting is always great and very close to the lodge.

I have hunted in Argentina six times. I did try a different lodge on my 4th trip and quickly realized Los Ombues was the best. I have visited Los Ombues five times now and it gets better each time. The food, service, birds, staff, location, quality of guns, all combine into an experience that is indescribable. Each trip we have new hunters with us and it is amazing to witness their reaction. If you are wanting a first class experience, you won’t go wrong selecting Los Ombues!
I’ve been going on South American bird hunts for the past 8 years, usually twice each year – nothing compares to Los Ombues Lodge. The staff is outstanding and cannot be more accommodating. You’ll will see more doves here in one day than at any other place and you will not be driving around for 30 minutes to over an hour each way to get to a hunt and then return to the lodge. Their equipment is all maintained perfectly. They have everything you need. The rooms are very nice and thoroughly cleaned several times each day. The food was great. You will also be very happy with the way they clean and maintain their firearms after every morning shoot and again after the evening shoot.
I have just returned from Los Ombues lodge in Argentina for the mix bag hunt. This being my 18 consecutive year at Los Ombues, the shooting,accommodations and hospitality provided by Carlos Sanchez and his brother, Juan Pablo was as always extraordinary. What sets this lodge apart from others for me and my family is that the marsh and fields are within 30 minutes or less from lodge. Except for the time out for the big spread at lunch and dinner you are always hunting. I look forward to my return trip.
Just returned from my 7th trip to Los Ombues for their mixed bag hunt and the Los Ombues team continues to excel in all respects! This is largely attributable to a team led by Carlos and Juan Pablo and Augie that provides continuity Balanced with their commitment to continuous improvement. The dove hunting during true winter apparently doesn’t rival the numbers during summer, my experience has been that it is hard to imagine the quality could be much better than we experienced. The lodge is extraordinarily well located on a hillside overlooking the marsh – frankly the view is worth the trip! The food is top notch and their new chef has added an even higher level of quality. I brought 2 neophyte bird hunters and they were truly spoiled and have become passionate bird hunters based on this experience. I’m already planning a return trip next year – 8 will be great!
I have been going to Los Ombues since 1998 and I recently took my family back for a graduation shoot. I can not express enough how wonderful the Los Ombues Team is. From international and local travel arrangements, to coordinating local sight seeing, to some of the finest shooting in Argentina this is a “First Class” operation. Carlos, Juan Pablo, Maria and their staff create an environment where you can really relax and enjoy you time with your family and guests. Beautiful lodge, great people, good friends.
I don’t have any photos to post because I was too busy shooting birds to take pictures. If you have torn up the internet looking for THE Argentina hunting destination, then congratulations…”Your Search is Over”! The volume of shooting, firearms, lodging, especially food, wine, gear, and hospitality are top notch at Los Ombues. You can walk to all of the hunting locations from the lodge... phenomenal. This is a country club way to do Argentina and I plan to recommend it to every shotgunner I know. First class operation! I will be back.

Carlos, what an experience! Fabulous food, great hospitality, great hosts and the best shooting in the world! I only hope my shoulder can recover before I return and do it again. Thanks for being so nice to my friends and my sons. My best always for good bird shooting.
