Dorados on the Fly — Golden Dorado fly fishing lodge, Upper Paraná
← Back to Beyond the Lodge

Golden Dorado & Wingshooting

Fish hard, then hunt harder. Combine world-class sight-casting for Golden Dorado on the Upper Paraná with high-volume dove shooting at Los Chanares, in the hills of Córdoba. Spend your days on the water first, then trade the rod for a shotgun — the itinerary bends to your schedule, not the other way around. It's two of Argentina's finest field sports, tailored into a single unforgettable week, and reserved well in advance for the travelers who ask for it first.

Leg 1 — Upper Paraná

Dorados on the Fly

The trip opens at Pinti's lodge on the Upper Paraná, in Itá Ibaté, Corrientes — sight-casting dry flies to Pacú and Pirá Pytá in gin-clear water, with Golden Dorado very much in play early and late in the day.

Lodging

Two lodging buildings with 8 individual bedrooms, single occupancy, private full baths, decorated with local art, overlooking the Rio Paraná.

Food

Classic Argentine cuisine, including a weekly asado, served with fine Mendoza wines and an open bar policy throughout your stay.

The Fishing

Dry-fly fishing for Pacú and Pirá Pytá alongside sight-casting for Golden Dorado, guided by Pinti's elite team on the most productive stretch of the river.

Leg 2 — Córdoba

Los Chanares, FlyWays

From the Paraná, the trip continues to Los Chanares, 1 hour 20 minutes from Córdoba airport — widely regarded as the finest dove hunting lodge in the world. It's the only lodge in the region with its own private section of the famed Macha dove roost, so drive times to the fields average just 5 to 10 minutes.

Lodging

A 9-bedroom lodge set on 1,000 acres of rolling Córdoba hills, each room with a private bathroom — a Beretta Trident Lodge run by its owners, not a hired crew.

Food

Field lunches and full Argentine asados paired with fine local wines — the same 5-star cuisine FlyWays is known for across its lodges.

The Hunting

Non-stop high-volume dove shooting over private grounds, year-round, with seasoned guides and loaders working the fields within walking distance of the lodge.
