Imagine a place where duck hunting is considered to be as majestic duck hunting in North Dakota and Canada…but where one will never have to miss a single day of duck hunting in North America and Canada to experience a hunt that is not only just as good—but better!
It’s better because the limits are higher, one need not plug the shotgun, and there is no such thing as steel shot, Bizmuth, Fast Steel—you just do it the old fashioned way—with pure lead! Add the diversity of these decoying birds that have never been shot at, and never seen a decoy before and you will agree after you have experienced it, that there is no substitute for Uruguay duck hunting…except maybe Argentina duck hunting, and even that is regarded as a lesser god by many salty waterfowlers who have had the chance to experience the great waterfowl hunting in Uruguay.

RIO BRANCO URUGUAY DUCK HUNTING LODGE
The Los Gauchos Rio Branco Lodge is a dedicated duck hunting lodge located about 4 hours from Montevideo, Uruguay in the rice fields of Uruguay. On a private farm that harvests rice, this site is Uruguay duck hunting paradise. The ducks have the bait (rice) and the water (a modern rice farm that irrigates the land) source to find a good place to flock each season. Over 11 species and a duck hunting season that lasts from May to September, the ducks are plentiful all season long.
Los Gauchos Outfitters has professional guides and a host that speak English and have been working and "hunting" with clients for many years, so bring your gear and get ready for some of the best duck hunting in Uruguay. Rio Branco.
The lodge is a comfortable lodge with many modern upgrades such as satellite tv and internet capability. Remember, though, you are in the depth of rice fields and away from city noise, traffic or buildings, so the internet is not high speed and the tv may not pick up your favorite baseball game.
The rooms are double occupancy with private baths associated with each room. The Uruguay duck hunting season is May 1st to September 15th; however, Los Gauchos, understands what September means to North American hunters- school for the kids and the beginning of dove hunting season. So we book May, June, July, and August.
The Uruguay duck hunts are typically 3, 3.5 or 4 days in length. Flights can be arranged by our office (no additional fee) and we meet you at the airport in Montevideo, Uruguay and make sure you get back to the Montevideo, Uruguay airport for the departure flight. The only fees you pay at the lodge are for your shotgun shells.
So, Contact Los Gauchos Outfitters today to book this Uruguay Duck Hunting trip that we know will be repeated each year and become a favorite duck hunting destination.

Argentina Duck Hunting
Let’s not leave out the old champ…Before waterfowl hunting in Uruguay became even remotely popular, there was Argentina. Los Gauchos Outfitters has been operating every kind of bird hunting trip to Argentina since 2001, and have sent thousands of clients on the hunt of a lifetime there. It was actually our customers who prompted us to consider operating in Uruguay, so we did the scouting, found the contacts, and set out to make sure that Los Gauchos’ Uruguay duck hunting would be the best of the best in Uruguay.
Mission Accomplished!
Los Gauchos is now the clear leader for waterfowl hunting in Uruguay—but the bird hunting action does not stop there. Even though we cut our teeth duck hunting in Uruguay, we operate several other lodges in this wonderful little country for doves, pigeons, and Perdiz—even freshwater dorado fishing, a trip which offers an opportunity for you to Cast and Blast, experiencing the incredible diversity that this country has to offer the traveling sportsman.
