Accommodations

It almost sounds silly, but maybe we should offer a guarantee. Jacana Lodge is the nicest duck hunting lodge you have ever been in or your money back, or something like that. Seriously, the lodge is terrific, and we are very proud of it. It is a comfortable, stylish base of operations, and a place to tell your friends about that snappy double you made on teal earlier in the day.

The lodge has a capacity of 10 hunters, with 5 doubles rooms, each with private bath. There is a posh Dining room, sitting room, bar, and recreation room, and each are within view of a large fireplace. The usual amenities include, Telephone, Internet access and satellite Tv, maid and laundry service, a Masseuse, and the gift shop offers local artwork and crafts, logo wear and accessories.

Cuisine

Jacana Lodge offers an à la Carte menu of wonderful cuisine, based on local meats, fresh vegetable and delicious deserts. A traditional Asado (BBQ) will be held once during your stay, and you can sample different cuts of meat and wonderful salads.

Location

Jacana is located in Lincoln, in the province of Buenos Aires, 300 Kilometers (185 miles) from Buenos Aires city.

Driving time 4 ½ hours, over good roads and through beautiful rural country.

Optionally, you may charter directly to the landing strip at Lincoln. (60 min)

Climate

Duck Hunting in the Province of Buenos Aires is a fall and winter activity, and cool mornings, evenings, with an occasional ride in an open boat mean that layers, or a good waterfowler's parka are the route to go. Temperatures start in the 45-65 F range in the early season, and drop to 35-50 by July.

Showers are also a possibility, and it can be cool, and damp. Skim ice is possible on very cold mornings, though quite rare.

Shawn P.: Everything was as near perfect as it could be. From the time we got off the plane till the time we got back on (your airport people were great!!!!!) we had nothing but a great time, and everything flowed really well.
Ohio, US.

Michel H.: We thought the lodge was great, food excellent, great rooms and even the shell allowance found the correct balance. Bird boys were without fault and very professional, I was impressed with the variety of locations and the quality of sport offered and the organisation was seamless, full marks to Charlie for getting us up every morning, I couldn't do that all season. I have already told my shooting friends about the trip, their most important question was 'Would you go back'? The answer was YES!!

Karl E.:Thank you so much for having Sam and I at the Jacana Lodge. We both had a wonderful time. I thought for a long time about the question you had about what improvements you should make. I don't think you should change any thing. Your attention to detail and no confusion about how things are run made the whole experience a great time. We will never forget our hunt with you at Jacana. Again thank you so much. My NEW life goal is to return to Jacana.

Gregory G.: I had a blast in Argentina shooting ducks with Charlie. The Lodge is FIRST CLASS and the shooting is FIRST CLASS. I cannot say enough GOOD about the food, the service, Charlie and his team. They are the BEST, FIRST CLASS. Hard to come home to reality after that trip.
Tennessee, US.

The Shooting

Duck hunting over decoys, morning and afternoons. Morning hunts depart the lodge in the dark, but after a hearty breakfast, with everything from waffles to eggs Benedict made to order.

Drives vary depending on water conditions, but range from ten to forty five minutes.

Hunters are placed in dry blinds, or large dry, sunken "buckets" of the style of an individual pit blind, or on platform-pallet blinds.

Shooting over decoys starts at first light and continues until 10 am or after. Most days, duck hunters return to the lodge for lunch and a siesta before afternoon departures at about 3pm for evening duck hunts.

Evening hunts last until dark.
