How to get there - International flight to Montevideo or Buenos Aires, ground transfer or private charter to lodge.
There are few areas on earth that allow a true 4 Feather mixed bag in one location and even fewer from one lodge. Estancia San Cirilo is located in the midst of over 100,000 acres of prime agriculture overlooking the banks of the Rio Negro. Another unique characteristic is the San Cirilo overlooks one of the largest pigeon roosts in the country. Each morning and evening you can watch the pigeons travel to and from their feeding grounds from your window our balcony.
Looking at a map you will see that Rio Negro Uruguay is due east of Cordoba Argentina. This is very notable as this “band” of land running through central South America is the best agricultural region in the area, and likely the world. With the abundance of agriculture there is a huge population of birds, whether Duck, Dove, Pigeon or Perdiz. Anyone that is familiar with Dove hunting in South America likely knows about Cordoba Argentina but few know about the plethora of dove in Eastern Uruguay, so imagine the volume of Dove in Cordoba with 1/100th of the hunting pressure at San Cirilo!
San Cirilo is a luxurious lodge run by the Portela brothers who were born and raised in this area. After years of education and travel they came back home to pursue their passion of hunting and fishing. Sitting atop a hill with sweeping views of the Uruguayan countryside and the famous Rio Negro pigeon roost, San Cirilo Lodge serves as the ultimate retreat for hunters. Reconstructed before the 2009 mixed-bag season, the lodge offers uncommon luxuries and comforts. The lodge’s uniquely modern exterior can be deceiving; it functions beautifully as a hunting lodge. With six bedrooms and five bathrooms, the lodge can accommodate up to twelve hunters at a time. There is a grand living room and lounge, a separate dining area, a gun and tackle room and a popular outdoor fire pit with sitting area. Guests of San Cirilo can expect traditional Uruguayan cuisine prepared by a professional chef, accompanied by fine regional wines. Internet access is fully available at the lodge, as is phone service
The lodge and the location give discriminating sportsmen the flexibility and hunting/fishing options few lodges can offer. While there are hunting packages available most clients chose to create their own itinerary based on their travel schedule and personal hunting preferences. Please contact Southern Outfitting today and allow us to create a customized hunting trip that will be talked about for years!
