Algar owns two private hunting properties that cover 85,000 acres (35,000 hectares) of pristine Patagonian steppe country. The hilly terrain and breathtaking views make Algar safaris an excellent place to hunt the various species we offer. The captivating surroundings and the wilderness of the country provide the most demanding and experienced hunters with a once-in-a-lifetime hunting experience.

Accommodation is five stars. Absolutely top notch. There is a chef who prepares delicious local and international cuisine. In addition, Algar safaris is the perfect place to bring a non-hunting guest, due to there are many activities for them to do in the area.

We encourage bow hunters to hunt at Algar as they will find this country vast and open, making it easy to spot game from high vantage points. The terrain is mostly rolling hills and mesas broken with ravines and creeks where the animals gather for water, and graze the valleys which run across the property. The tall grasses and bushes make the perfect camouflage for bow hunters’ activity. Bow hunters should expect 30-70 mt shot distance.

La Zenaida, Córdoba, Argentina

High volume dove shooting

La Zenaida is located 50 meters away from one of the largest and most compact dove roosts in Argentina and right on a dove flyway; it is just the perfect place for a thrilling high-volume shooting experience with an experienced team that runs a flawless operation.

Decorated in the traditional Patagonian and Northern Argentinean style, La Zenaida offers all modern amenities: cosy en-suite bedrooms, a comfortable living-room with a fully stocked complimentary bar, a large dining room, a large outdoor hot tub and a great recreation area with a wonderful view of the green fields and mountain lions walking around occasionally.

The Shooting

Córdoba is considered the dove shooting capital of the world. The 100 square mile radius (60 km) around the lodge is annually inhabited by over 30 million doves.

The lodge has around 25 shooting fields, which are at walking distance within our own property, or at a short drive through the region’s rich farmland. This allows for more time to relax and enjoy yourself, take a nap in between hunts, refresh in our swimming pool during the hot summer days or the outdoor hot tub in cooler days and why not take a pleasant massage for your sore shoulders and limbs!

The overwhelming amount of birds flying over the head restlessly all day long ensures great opportunities for non-stop shooting suitable for all skill levels. Beginners have an unparalleled chance for improving their shooting skills aiming at low flying doves, while more experienced shooters find higher and faster targets quite a challenge. An average hunter may expect to shoot between 2 to 4 cases a day…and there’s No Bag Limit!

With the shooting fields at walking distance from the lodge, dove shooting will never be the same. You will shoot more and travel less.
