Quality Service Price
Have you been searching all around on the World Wide Web for a bird hunting trip to South America?
Maybe you have looked through several other websites, and you notice that ours is…well—a little different. Belay that, a whole lot different!
Our hope is that after careful evaluation and comparison, it will become obvious to you that our standards are simply higher than those of our competitors.
We are able to maintain these standards by managing all properties in-house, without any outside influence from booking agents, or third parties. Our employee-owned organization focuses our talents in one very specialized area: wingshooting and fishing trips to Argentina and Uruguay.
We never intend to become a one stop shopping “megastore” of hunting and fishing destinations. We do not wish to be like a WAL-MART-type “adventure travel agency”. As you have probably noticed by now, our price structures are unique, and offer the sportsman who chooses to become an educated consumer the best value available in the market today. However, we are not a bargain basement; but instead, a specialty store for discriminating international wingshooters who believe that the quality and value of the total experience goes far beyond just pulling a trigger.
Los Gauchos provides :
- Very comfortable and even slightly elegant accommodations. Los Gauchos has the lodge or estancia for large groups plannning a wingshooting trip in Uruguay or Argentina or family run estancias highlighting the culture of South America.
- Well-maintained, very high quality shotguns included in the package. Benelli and Beretta are just two of the gun manufacturers Los Gauchos maintains in stock.
- A desire to shoot over expertly trained bird dogs. Perdiz hunting is included in several of the Los Gauchos hunting packages and the joy of hunting Perdiz over well trained dogs is invaluable to a wingshooter.
- A complete worry-free package that is as all-inclusive as possible in every respect.
It is very important to know that when you book with Los Gauchos, you are accessing a free market where the price of your trip has not been inflated to absorb the shock of a 20-25% commission to a booking agency, "adventure" travel agent, or consultant. Since we do not pay these commissions, we are able to offer lower prices to everyone, serve more total clients, and deliver a higher quality product than our competitors. Delivering high quality wingshooting, at the most competitive price, is the recipie that has made Los Gauchos the not only the largest waterfowl hunting outfitter in South America--but the best as well.
Here is a little history regarding Los Gauchos
Los Gauchos was founded in 2001 by one American, and one Argentinean who had been paid guests of other duck and dove hunting operators in South America. The founders believed that the overall trip experience could be greatly improved as to better resemble the more professional waterfowl hunting operations that exist in North America; specifically with respect to the skill level of the guides, quality of the decoys and hunting equipment, the use of well-trained Labrador retrievers, and the quality of the food, beverages accommodations, and service.
Committed to raising the bar of South American waterfowl hunting, Los Gauchos set out. After humble beginnings, operating out of a charming little country farm house during the first two years of operation, Los Gauchos won the respect of outdoor writers, professional hunters, outdoor T.V hosts, and now literally hundreds and hundreds of clients.
The Los Gauchos brand is now well known as an industry leader. Companies like Benelli and Beretta choose Los Gauchos year after year to guide them on their trips to South America because we consistently deliver the excellent shooting opportunities that make their outdoor television shows successful—and you can too.
With professional, celebrities and hundreds of clients that come for the first time to Argentina or Uruguay or their 100th time, Los Gauchos welcomes all of you and from the first time you contact the Los Gauchos office to the day of the flight, our office and staff are set to answer your questions and make sure you enjoy and have the hunting trip or fishing trip of a lifetime. Read what our clients say - we update the testimonials each week during the season after hearing the great dove hunting, duck hunting and delicious desserts and fine wines served on a Los Gauchos hunting/fishing trip.
Why was the company named “Los Gauchos”?
Intrigued by the beauty of the Argentine pampas and the culture of the gauchos—the founders named the company “Los Gauchos”.
The gauchos were the itinerant and adventurous beret-wearing cowboys that roamed the countryside in search of work, but loved the isolation and solitude offered by Argentina’s vast, empty hinterland where they existed—almost in cult-like fashion—in small communities with their families and peers.
Although their taciturn, no-nonsense work ethic earned these expert horsemen the great respect that they still enjoy today, the real gauchos (now extinct as a result of modernization) were men who embraced carefree lives of daring-do including frequent activities such as wild horse riding, late-night card playing, knife tricks, singing, and laughter.
Los Gauchos owes its success to a talented and hard working staff, and above all to our customers—your kind words and referrals are the lifeblood of our continued growth and prosperity.
