In fact, it's safe to say that the lines at the airport in Uruguay are probably shorter than in any other airport in South America--ease of travel should be a consideration, and anyone who has ever waited in line to obtain a hunting license or gun permit in Argentina understands this.
Los Gauchos does not focus on just one bird. No, you can enjoy high volume doves, but why not also add in dorado fishing or Perdiz (Upland) hunting.

Hunting Trips - Los Gauchos

Pack: A Hat!

Uruguay dove hunting takes place in open fields with tons of dove roosts. Bring a hat no matter what time of year you hunt.

The sun can be bright and even on over cast days, a hat is a dove hunting necessity.
