Argentina’s untamed landscapes pulse with adventure—a roaring free range red stag in La Pampa, a trout rising for your fly in Patagonia, doves swarming Córdoba’s skies, or a water buffalo wading through marshes. Argentina offers the ultimate outdoor trifecta: world-class fly fishing, legendary wingshooting, and diverse big game hunting, all wrapped in Argentina’s fiery hospitality. From Patagonia’s glacial rivers to Córdoba’s grain fields, La Pampa’s grasslands to Corrientes’ wetlands, each region offers a unique thrill for anglers, bird hunters, and big game hunters. Ready for your next adventure? Outdoors International has your ticket—here’s why Argentina’s calling and how to book today.
Fly Fishing Argentina: A Trout Angler’s Nirvana
Argentina’s fly fishing is a global benchmark, especially for trout fanatics. Patagonia’s pristine rivers—Limay, Chimehuin, Collón Curá, Malleo—teem with wild brown, rainbow, and brook trout, averaging 18-24 inches, with lunkers hitting 10 pounds. December to April, hatches explode, offering dry-fly bliss (think Adams or caddis) and streamer-charged fights. Whether wading intimate spring creeks or drifting vast waters like the Alumine, you’re in a trout fishing paradise rivaling Montana or New Zealand. Packages can be quite affordable and include expert guides, cozy lodges, and asado feasts under Andean stars.
Strobel Lake: Giant Argentina Rainbows
Strobel Lake, often called Jurassic Lake, is a fly fishing paradise in Argentina’s remote Santa Cruz province, deep in Patagonia’s windswept desert. Renowned for its massive wild rainbow trout—averaging 8-10 pounds, with 20-pounders common—this 65-square-kilometer, crystal-clear lake offers unparalleled angling. Stocked in the 1990s with trout eggs, the lake’s abundant scuds and shrimp fuel explosive fish growth, making every cast a shot at a trophy. Anglers sight-fish from rocky shores or wade bays like Monsters or Tasmania, using floating lines with slow-retrieved streamers, nymphs, or scud patterns, often battling fierce winds. Our Strobel Lake fishing lodges provide exclusive access to over 25 km of shoreline, the Barrancoso River, and Moro Creek, with luxe accommodations, asado feasts, and guides who pinpoint chrome monsters. A bucket-list trip, it’s a grueling journey—5 hours from El Calafate—but the thrill of hooking a 15-pound rainbow makes it unforgettable.
Golden Dorado: An Epic Fishing Excursion
Golden dorado fishing in Argentina is a heart-pounding adventure, chasing one of the world’s fiercest freshwater predators in the mighty Paraná River and its tributaries, particularly in Corrientes’ pristine wetlands. Known as the “river tiger,” golden dorado—flashing iridescent gold with black stripes—average 10-20 pounds, with brutes hitting 40 pounds, delivering acrobatic leaps and bulldog runs that test 8-weight rods and 20-pound tippets. From September to April, anglers cast topwater poppers, streamers, or skaters in clear channels, oxbow lagoons, or boulder-strewn rapids, often sight-fishing for lunging strikes. Corrientes’ lodges, like those near Iberá Wetlands, offer rustic luxury—think grilled pacú, Malbec nights, and expert guides who read the river’s moods. Trips are typically 5 days, including boats and meals, a 2-hour flight from Buenos Aires. It’s a fly angler’s dream, blending explosive action with Argentina’s raw, humid wilderness.
Our OI Fishing Consultants are your secret weapon. We track seasonal shifts—peak hatches, high-water bites—and pair you with outfitters who know every pool. Novices get casting tips; pros chase record fish. From Patagonia’s wild rivers to La Pampa’s hidden gems, we’ll craft your perfect trip. Ready to hook a monster?

Argentina Wingshooting: The Dove Hunting Capital
Argentina’s dove hunting is unmatched, with Córdoba’s skies hosting millions of birds in a high-volume shooter’s dream. Fueled by vast grain fields, roosting woods, mild climates, and no predators, dove populations soar, letting you blast 1,000+ shells daily from January to April. Guided by scouts who pinpoint roosts, you’ll post up in fields or scrub, hitting 90% of your shots with a 20-gauge. It’s relentless, exhilarating, and uniquely Argentine.
Waterfowl Hunting: Argentina Cast and Blast
Duck hunting in Argentina offers an exhilarating experience, particularly in the wetlands of Entre Ríos and Buenos Aires provinces, where abundant marshes and mild climates create a waterfowl haven. From May to August, hunters target over 14 species, including the prized rosy-billed pochard, silver teal, and Brazilian duck, with daily limits often exceeding 20 birds per gun. Using 12- or 20-gauge shotguns, you’ll hunt from blinds over decoys in flooded fields or along lagoon edges, guided by experts who call in flocks with uncanny precision. Lodges like those near Rosario blend gaucho charm with gourmet asado, local wines, and cozy fireplaces, gourmet meals and transfers. Just a short drive or flight from Buenos Aires, Argentina’s duck hunts deliver high-volume action and South American flair, rivaling North America’s best flyways.
We design the ultimate bird hunt: meticulous planning, seasoned guides, and lodges serving gourmet lomito, Mendoza Malbec, and fresh empanadas. Packages are affordable, covering meals, lodging, and transfers. Add pigeon or perdiz for variety, or unwind with a Buenos Aires tango show. Want to join the dove frenzy?

Big Game Hunting Argentina: Roaring Free Range Stags
Argentina’s big game hunting is a trophy hunter’s paradise, led by the red stag roaring through the March-April rut. But the diversity steals the show: native puma, wild boar, capybara, and exotic blackbuck antelope, water buffalo, axis deer, fallow deer, mouflon, and multi-horned sheep roam free-range ranches or estates. Plenty of combo hunts—stag plus dove or buffalo—maximize your haul.
Our OI Hunting Consultants tailor every stalk, from La Pampa’s caldén scrub to Corrientes’ buffalo filled bogs. Expect luxe estancias, gaucho tales, and sizzling asado post-hunt.

Argentina’s Premier Regions for Adventure

La Pampa: Grassland Glory
Central Argentina’s La Pampa province is a hunter’s heartland, its Pampas grasslands dotted with estancias near the laid-back capital, Santa Rosa (150 km from Buenos Aires by charter or drive). Caldén woodlands shelter red stag, wild boar, and blackbuck, while dove flocks swarm grain fields. The Colorado River tempts anglers with trout and perch. Parque Luro reserve, south of Santa Rosa, teems with deer, and Lihué Calel National Park’s scrub hosts pumas and guanacos. Hunt, fish, or shoot, then dine on asado under starry plains—La Pampa’s a no-fuss base with raw charm.
-
Patagonia: Fly Fishing Eden
Patagonia’s Andes foothills, spanning Río Negro and Neuquén, are fly fishing’s crown jewel. Glacial rivers—Limay, Aluminé, Chimehuin—carve through pine forests and steppe, brimming with trophy trout. December-April, you’ll cast to rising browns or strip streamers for rainbows. Red stag and wild boar roam nearby hills for hunters, while dove shooting thrives in northern reaches. Lodges blend rustic elegance—think wood-fired grills, Malbec, and lake views. Fly into Bariloche, then soak in Patagonia’s vastness. It’s trout heaven with a hunting twist.
-
Córdoba: Wingshooting Capital
Córdoba, in Argentina’s central heart, is the dove hunting mecca. Its rolling hills and grain fields, a 700-km drive from Buenos Aires, support endless dove roosts, peaking January-April. You’ll shoot thousands of rounds in a day, guided to prime blinds. Hunters can add wild boar or blackbuck, while anglers fish nearby Tercero River for carp or dorado. Luxe lodges serve parrilla feasts; nearby Córdoba city offers colonial charm and Jesuit history. For high-volume shooting, Córdoba’s unmatched.
-
Corrientes: Buffalo and Wetland Wonders
Corrientes, in Argentina’s northeast (800 km from Buenos Aires), is a big game hotspot where wetlands meet savanna. March-August, hunt massive water buffalo in free-range marshes, or stalk axis deer and wild boar. Dove shooting thrives year-round, and anglers chase golden dorado in the Paraná River—think 20-pounders on flies. Rustic estancias offer mate-sipping mornings and grilled pacú dinners.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.
Thank you,
Stan Masneri
What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
