Hunting & Fishing Combination
Uruguay Dorado Fishing

For those of you who like the idea of a wingshooting combination package that includes more than one species of wildfowl in the hunt, we ask you to consider taking it one step further and trying your hand at the fishing. Our Golden Dorado fishing combinations offer you a chance to trade in your shotguns for spinning or fly tackle, and offer a chance at a once in a lifetime trophy—a 50 pound Golden Dorado. Image rising in the morning to a great day of Uruguay duck hunting, and then after a traditional Uruguayan BBQ field lunch, hitting the river for dorado—it just does not get any better (unless you are going to add some Uruguay dove hunting too).

When the word “dorado” comes up, many think “Mahi Mahi”. However, the Golden Dorado is a freshwater fish that is unique to South America, and bears no resemblance to the Mahi Mahi in any way. The dorado is a fish that evolved from the Salmonoid family, but can also trace its roots back to the brethren that it shares the river with—the piranha. The dorado has razor sharp teeth and destroys lures and flies with glee. Once hooked, you can expect the fight of your life, and these fish love to jump—often leaping five to six feet out of the water!

Los Gauchos is really getting a lot of interest in the freshwater fishing in Uruguay and with new flight service from Montevideo to Salto, it is becoming easier to head out to the Uruguay River and experience the exciting dorado fish.

Dorado fishing in Uruguay is a catch and release fishing program, but you can keep a dorado, and the succulent flavor of its white flaky meat is a delicacy that you will not soon forget. So keep in mind, duck hunting in Uruguay is exciting, but there are other equally thrilling venues that can be added to mix that will make your trip to this already unique country even more satisfying and memorable.

Experience The Unique Culture Uruguay Has To Offer!

Uruguay is not just home to great wing shooting, Upscale dining, great shopping for leather and crafts, and quaint neighborhoods that can be visited by day trips are all activities that can be taken in while you are on a trip to enjoy the best duck hunting Uruguay has to offer.

Uruguay is multifaceted. A mix of Spaniards and Portuguese settled the country, and the country’s culture exudes some of the finest traditions and culture of both parts of the Old World. While Montevideo might be the part of the country where most live and work, the interior of the country is where the soul of Uruguay actually lies. Although our clients go to Uruguay primarily to enjoy Uruguay duck hunting, and Uruguay dove hunting, we encourage all travelers to spend a few days getting to know a different side of Uruguay, a side that will enchant your soul, as well as satisfy your thirst for an additional duck season.

Although some of our clients book their first hunting trip to Uruguay, most of our clients have been shooting, at least once, with Uruguay’s lovely next door neighbor—Argentina. Many do not know that Uruguay was once a province of Argentina, and much of the same culture and traditions that exist there can also be found here in Uruguay. The ones that are most important to those duck hunting in Uruguay are probably the ones that coincide with the culinary delights—the great beef and delicious wine. One can be reassured that both are found in great abundance on the dining table at your Uruguay duck hunting lodge—so won’t you join us?

Los Gauchos would be honored to show you the fine hospitality that make Uruguay unique, so contact us today and/or take a few minutes to see our great Uruguay dove hunting videos on Los Gauchos TV (as well as other videos showcasing the duck hunting in Uruguay)

Will You Need A Hotel In Montevideo?

Since 2003, Los Gauchos has been working with some of the finest hotels in Uruguay to provide high quality lodging for our non-hunting guests, and our guests who decided to stay a few extra days and see the sights that this incredible country has to offer.

If you are in need of additional accommodation arrangements apart from your Uruguay duck hunting trip, please let us know and we will be more than happy to make all of the necessary arrangements. Los Gauchos already assists you in every aspect of planning your wingshooting and/or fishing trip to Uruguay, and the addition of a four or five star hotel for those who require one is no imposition at all—we will gladly assist you.

Until then, we hope to hear from you soon. For more information, visit our sister site about dove hunting in Uruguay.
