Description:  Despite its stately 19th century facade, Pica Zuro is a modern launch pad for dove shooters. It's grand, it's comfortable, and it's close to the doves. At Pica Zuro short drives are the norm: the lodge is positioned to reach hundreds of private-access shooting locations within minutes. There are never ending flocks, all year round.

Each day, shooters leave the pastoral setting of the lodge and move to the hills and fields, where doves fly in spectacular numbers.

Upon returning to the lodge, the skilled chef assures that meals are fit for a king. Pica Zuro's staff—including guides and tenured field assistants—see to every detail, so your focus remains down the rib of your gun.

Accommodations:  Photographs of the lodge have never done it justice. Some great old buildings are like that. This one is. The rooms are bigger, the ceilings higher, and the chairs are softer than they seem in photos. It is peaceful and tidy in the rooms, quiet on the outside verandas. After a shooting day you may want some quiet, or a place to laugh with friends while white-jacketed waiters bring drinks and snacks. A photo doesn’t capture the whisper of the fan blades overhead, or the tinkling of ice in glasses. You have to visit to enjoy it.

Transportation/Getting there:  Pica Zuro Lodge is located in the province of Cordoba, in Central Argentina, 60 miles (100 km) North of the Cordoba City International Airport. The driving time from the airport to the lodge is 1:15 hr.

To get to Pica Zuro Lodge there are daily direct flights from many U.S. cities to Santiago, Chile with connecting flights to Cordoba city. That will allow you to make the most of your trip as using most flight schedules, you will be dove shooting at midday on the day of your arrival.

Hunters may also fly into Buenos Aires (Ezeiza International Airport), transfer to the domestic airport and take a 1 hr flight to Cordoba.
