Of all the different areas we've experienced through the years it was the grain fields and marshes of the wet lowland plains that enabled us to approach consistency and predictability in a higher degree. The area feels "ducky" like no other one does. This is flatter country, where weather is cooler and more pleasant than that found in areas further north, with mile after mile of ponds, grain fields and marshes where 12 species of ducks thrive and migrate to year after year. This is big time pothole country which may very well remind North Americans of the Great Plains, where winters can be cold and landscape may be more familiar to what duck hunting areas are supposed to look like.

And then the lodge. Santa Rita. Probably the most elegant duck lodge you’ll ever find. This lodge is an incredible 100+ year old, 18,000 square foot French Basque style estancia. Truly a beautiful lodge with much history, they offer guest gourmet food and six tastefully decorated rooms with en-suite bath, three living rooms and an ample dining room all in the peaceful setting of the Buenos Aires Province countryside.
