Manuel Airala hunts in the Cordoba Province just north of the city of Cordoba. He has exclusive use of several large Estancias that have roosts, waterholes, and/or grain fields located on them that he hunts over. Two of his main hunting areas have two of the largest dove roosts in the Cordoba Province located within or next to these properties. Hunters wishing to go to Cordoba and hunt with Manuel Airala have several Lodges/Estancias or Hotels where they can stay and use as a base from which to hunt. Manuel normally chooses the best location to house the hunters based on the time of year & crop harvesting schedule which dictates where the birds are roosting and feeding. He chooses the lodge which is located as close as possible to where the dove are feeding and roosting in order to keep the drives to the field as short as possible.

Estancia “La Paz” will satisfy even the most discriminating sportsman, Southern Sporting Safaris in conjunction with Manuel Airala is pleased to offer hunters the opportunity to stay at the elegant “Estancia La Paz” which was the “Retreat” home of the Former President of Argentina. Estancia La Paz is a “Gated” Estancia so it offers maximum security for all its guests. Located just outside the town of La Granja, Estancia La Paz’s property encompasses several hundred acres and includes an Olympic sized swimming pool, a lake in which clients can boat or fish, a polo field where tournaments are held, horseback riding, walking and biking trails and a 5 Star Restaurant. Guests staying at La Paz will also have access to a beautiful and challenging 18 hole golf course located just minutes down the road. The Chef at La Paz, Bruno Glaudo, has been the recipient of the prestigious “Best Chef in Argentina” Award for the last two years running. The cuisine served at La Paz is worthy of any 5 Star restaurants that you would find in New York City, Hollywood or any other large city in the US. The food served at the La Paz restaurant will satisfy and delight even the most cultivated palettes. Each hunter will have a menu of dishes to choose from for breakfast, lunch, and dinner including dessert.

Hunters staying at La Paz will have a wonderful breakfast at the Estancia and then will take a short drive to the field for the mornings shoot. Lunch will be served in the field in the typical Argentine “Asado” fashion and after a short “siesta” the shooting will begin again. Hunters/groups wishing to return to the Estancia at lunch can do so but lunches at La Paz are “extra” and the clients will be expected to pay for lunch. Lunches in the field are included in the price of the trip. Once the afternoon’s hunt has concluded the hunters will return to the Estancia where they can shower, relax, and have a drink before dinner. Hunters will normally shoot 3-4 hours in the morning and 3-4 hours in the afternoon and typically fire 1000-2000 rounds per day at dove.
On the day the hunters arrive in Cordoba, they will hunt the first afternoon, then three full days of hunting and then hunt the last morning before returning to the Estancia to shower and pack before heading to the Cordoba Airport to catch their overnight flight to the US or to their home country.
