The Accommodations
El Retiro and Cerro de la Cruz: Outfitter Floro Lavalle is a fourth generation Argentine of German pioneer descent, who has spent his entire life hunting, fishing and adventuring in southern Buenos Aires Province. He has two beautiful lodges, both of which are huge, European-style private homes. Both facilities are located on large private ranches to the southwest of Buenos Aires in the province of Buenos Aires. Floro lives and hosts hunters in his home, El Retiro, and also accommodates parties in his nearby Cerro de la Cruz. Each lodge features seven bedrooms. The nearby town of Sierra de la Ventana is a summer destination for vacationing Argentines, who enjoy the beautiful scenery, golf, fishing, hiking, shopping and other activities.
El Rincon and Santa Rosa, are both operated by River Plate Wingshooting, one of the pioneering Argentine outfitters who have hosted literally tens of thousands of sportsmen, and who are still among the best of the best operators. Both facilities are true country mansions surrounded by many acres of huge trees and gardens. El Rincon has seven bedrooms and Santa Rosa has five. They are located three hours north of Buenos Aires in Entre Rios Province, in the midst of a region defined by marshland, pothole lakes, grain production and very few human inhabitants.
