Rio Bravo in Santa Fe is the sister lodge of Sierra Bravo in Cordoba, Argentina.
JJ, Topo, and the team worked for years to offer a lodge that offers activities other than high-volume dove hunting common to Cordoba. No expense was spared to create our lodge nestled on the banks of the Parana River in the Santa Fe province.
First, to get to Rio Bravo, you fly into Buenos Aires international airport and transfer to the domestic airport for a quick flight into Santa Fe airport. From here, we transfer by van for just two hours, and then you entire the paradise of the nicest lodge in Santa Fe.
Here we offer Dove, Duck, Perdiz, and Dorado fishing, with a heavy focus on prize Golden Dorado fishing. Our hunting/fishing itineraries differ quite a bit from the traditional mixed bag lodges because our fishing is arguably the best in the country; fishing is always part of the itinerary. Also, unlike most mixed bag lodges, each hunting/fishing excursion is a full-day event. This ensures our clients the best chance for successful hunting and fishing excursions during their time with us.
Our mixed bag season is May through August, and our Cast and Blast season is year-round.
Typical itineraries are below; however, each trip is customized to the client’s requirements and suggestions. With this in mind, we limit duck hunting to one duck hunt per trip.
