For a lodge atmosphere, River Plate also offers a lovely small inn, Vineyard Estancia, in
the same region. At either location gunners can expect to expend 40-80 boxes of shells a day
here on doves, all within just a few minutes’ drive from their accommodations. Optional pigeon
shooting is also often available in this land of rolling hills and friendly gauchos. Logistics are
easy: Fly into Montevideo or arrive in Colonia by hydrofoil ferry from Buenos Aires at noon
and staff will have you shooting that afternoon.
