Getting There - Uruguay Pigeon Hunt at Estancia San Juan

Estancia San Juan is located in the northwest region of Uruguay in the state of Paysandú near the river town of Paysandú.  The lodge is located approximately 208 miles away from Montevideo, the capital and the major metropolitan center of this small country.

Guests of Estancia San Juan have multiple means of arrival/departure from the lodge based on their point of origin or final destination. Most commonly, shooters traveling on international flights to Uruguay and Montevideo International Airport will be met by a San Juan Lodge representative who will assist with gun clearance, if necessary, and who will transport the group to San Juan Lodge. The drive is approximately 3 hours through scenic rural Uruguay via paved highway. Alternatively, ground transfer from Buenos Aires or private air charters may be arranged.

Uruguay Pigeon Hunt Limits at Estancia San Juan

Uruguay dove hunting is unlimited in all regards. Though unlimited, Uruguay pigeon hunting is much lower volume shooting than dove. The bag limit, or transportation limit for this Uruguay duck hunting experience is quite generous, but we hope that you will let your conscience be your guide as well, and compare this shooting opportunity to virtually any other decoying experiences worldwide. Our outfitter imposes a generous limit of 100 cartridges per morning for ducks to balance action and conservation, as well as to ensure the consistently productive shooting for which this Uruguay duck hunting package is renowned.  The daily limit during a Uruguay perdiz hunt is 10 birds per hunter.

Gratuities - Uruguay Pigeon Hunt at Estancia San Juan

Gratuities for lodge and field staff are not included in Uruguay pigeon hunting package cost since tipping, in general, is discretionary.  Because clients have repeatedly asked that we provide general guidelines the following is suggested:

• $35 per bird boy, per guest/day
• $30 to $40 for the household staff, per guest/day
• $50 to $100 for your shooting guide, per person for the total stay.

As an example, for a 3-day hunt you will spend approximately $300 in tips, which is $100 per day.  Guests should tip pick-up boys directly in the field. For transfers to Montevideo or Buenos Aires, your lodge host will tip the drivers and airport porters but not hotel or restaurant personnel. If you wish to tip your guide, do so at your discretion.
