Fortin San Miguel - Uruguay
Some count sheep, this is what a Waterfowler’s dream looks like.
This waterfowl hunt is one of the most desired trips Trek has to offer. Your dream Duck hunt is set in the small Brazilian border town of Chuy with deluxe accommodations at Fortin San Miguel. Join Trek Safaris to test your shotgunning skills against the largest variety of waterfowl species of any South American Duck hunt. Call today for May-July dates. The Trip: Eight night, seven day trip with 4-1/2 days of Duck hunting in combination with afternoon Perdiz hunts. Our trip starts in Miami with an overnight flight on American Airlines to Montevideo, Uruguay. When you arrive in Montevideo you will be met by Eduardo and his staff. They will assist your group through customs and you will be transferred to our hunt area near the town of Chuy. The next five days will be hunting days where you will shoot Ducks in the mornings and Perdiz in the afternoon. After the last morning hunt the group will be driven back to Montevideo where you will catch your overnight American Airlines flights back home arriving in Miami early the next morning. The Accommodations: Our hunt headquarters will again be the Hotel Fortin de San Miguel near the Uruguay/Brazil border town of Chuy. The Hotel is a perfect setting for a group of duck hunters as it is ideally located to the lagoons and has an incredible view of the surrounding countryside. Our return to Fortin was based on the impressive comments made by our groups last season. Each hunter will have his own single room and bath. The rooms are nicely decorated and are plenty spacious enough for two, let alone a single. The food at the hotel is especially prepared for our groups with fine Uruguayan and Argentine beef, as well as local favorites of poultry and pasta. Fine wines from the cellar will round out your meals. The Hunting: You will have five mornings and four afternoons of duck hunting. Each morning you will have a full breakfast at the hotel. Most drives to the Duck Lagoons are 40 minutes to 1 hour. You will be hunting out of rough blinds. We have a good variety of
Ducks in this area. Our main species are the Rosy Billed Pochard, Chiloe Widgeon, Shoveler, and four different types of Teal. The Duck hunting is done out of shallow lagoons and lakes. Eduardo has exclusive leases in the hunting area. Rough blinds are constructed on the edges of the lagoons. Most of the time you will only be in ankle deep water and there is very little walking involved. The ducks in this area decoy very well. The afternoon will be filled walking comfortably behind one of Eduardo’s well mannered Brittany’s. Your target will be the quick f l y i n g Pe rd i z , w h i c h provides lots of action with an average of 3050 flushes. We will have about 2-1/2 hours of Perdiz hunting with a liberal limit of 20 birds or two boxes of shells. Trip Fees:
