Description:  Located in the Province of Buenos Aires, just 85 minutes from the Ezeiza International airport, Los Crestones Lodge was named for the Rosy Billed Pochard—Argentina’s most distinctive and sought?after duck. Set in a mature parkland and surrounded by fertile countryside, Los Crestones will offer discerning guests a combination of the best bird hunting with the best Wild Black Buck and Axis Deer Hunting in South America.

The lodge is a classic Argentinean estancia, recently refurbished and possessing all the comfort and style you would expect of a Red Stag property. Guests will sleep in one of 8 single bedrooms, each with a private bathroom. In the evening, exquisite meals and fine Argentine wines will be enjoyed in the dining room.

Only 30 min from the lodge is an area that holds the biggest herds of wild Blackbuck Antelope in the world, a bit farther away from the lodge you’ll find some of the best wild Axis deer hunting in the country. Full-day or half-day hunts are an easy addition to your wing shooting adventure. 

Several Los Crestones are professional big game hunters, and know these private land areas well. They can organize a hunt and provide an accurate loaner rifle. They will also guide bowhunters, but we suggest you allow more time if you’d like to pursue either specie with bow.

Los Crestones offers the unique opportunity to enjoy great bird and big game hunting out of the same lodge, simultaneously. Big Game only trips are also available at Los Crestones from May 1 thru Dec. 15.

Accommodations:  Los Crestones is located on a sophisticated and luxurious compound situated on 60 hectares of preserved natural woodlands along the Salado River. The grand estancia features wine galleries with superlative views, a gourmet restaurant, spa and pool facilities. There are 13 elegantly appointed bedrooms— each with private bath, which accommodate a maximum of 10 hunters and 3 non-hunters.

Transportation/Getting there:  Reaching Los Crestones is easy. The lodge is a convenient two-hour drive from Buenos Aires, via route N2 (104 miles) followed by about 5 miles on good roads through stunning Argentine countryside. Helicopter access from the airport to the lodge can also be arranged.
