This sporting Uruguay perdiz hunt provides fun challenge for
even the veteran upland hunter. Hidden in and among the
short-grass savannah and low-lying shrub of western Uruguay, the
perdiz is a master of concealment and surprisingly speedy during
the flush. This hunt is experienced over well-experienced English
setters or Brittany spaniels. Guest can expect easy walking
and continuous points throughout the morning. This Uruguay
perdiz hunt provides guests respite from the high-volume dove hunts
or decoyed pigeon hunts with which it is paired, and will test
their upland wingshooting skills. Expect certain opportunity
for perdiz limits, beautiful rolling hills, exceptional guides and
pointers, and a respectable game bird.
Located on a secluded hilltop, Estancia San Cirilo overlooks
Uruguay's Rio Negro delta, and the thousands of acres of sunflower,
sorghum, and soybeans that define beautiful western Uruguay.
Completely and stylishly refurbished for the 2009 season by your
experienced, energetic hosts, the Portella brothers, this
architectural masterpiece is situated amid nearly 100,000 acres of
wing-shooting paradise. It offers luxury accommodations
convenient to daily shooting locations.
These luxury accommodations are complemented by the peaceful
flow of the nearby Rio Negro, the picturesque view of endless
rolling plains and, right in our own back yard, one of the largest
wild pigeon roosts Uruguay. While relaxing on the lower veranda,
guests will enjoy a warm fire, an array of table fare, fine wine,
and an open bar. Enjoy watching the marvelous flight of
pigeons returning to their evening roost.
All 3 meals are taken at the beautiful estancia and include
chef-prepared, traditional Uruguayan cuisine, excellent regional
wines and open bar. Amenities at San Cirilo include 4
