This is a true high-volume duck destination for serious waterfowlers. Other species are available here with a 1 ½ hour drive, but here the emphasis is mainly on ducks. La Escondida, a 100-year-old traditional estancia, is located a convenient 3 1/2 hour drive west from Buenos Aires. A typical day at La Escondida calls for a reasonable 6:45 am departure for the duck blinds, which are only 15-20 minutes away.
After the morning shoot, guests return at 10:30 for a relaxing hour of cocktails and lying about all the great shots they made and the huge number of ducks they shot. Then they enjoy a leisurely lunch and a siesta. At 3:30 it’s back into the duck blinds, or alternatively, an earlier departure for non-stop hot-barreled shooting at doves returning to the roost.
