I know, I know, but someone has to do it (and just wait, I've got a whole series of stories about things that happen along the way you'll never, ever read about in slick travel brochures). I like traveling to new places and pulling the trigger, but new and different experiences, preferably way off the beaten path, are most compelling.
Most GetDucks.com wingshooting destinations offered in South America are as convenient to an airport as Disney World to Orlando. The duck hunting is incredible; total-package experiences relative to duck hunting locally are unbelievable. Sometimes we get real lucky and find something harder to get to, but worth it. Our new Tacuarí Lodge Uruguay duck hunting program is the perfect example.
The best duck hunting in Uruguay is located to the east. Many duck species common to Uruguay are rare or not available throughout much of Argentina. Uruguay duck hunts are usually operated from hotels and let's face it, who wants to travel that far to stay in a hotel?
Tacuarí Lodge is located 5.5 hours from Montevideo, in remote northeastern Uruguay, right across the river from Brazil. We drove past other duck hunting operations getting there. It was worth it. What awaited surprised us.
