Bolivian Adventures Dove and Pigeon Shooting

No Dove Left Behind: Bolivia’s Dove and Pigeon Paradise with a Twist

Bolivian Adventures offer two resort lodges, Las Palomas and Los Guaduales. Both located within 60 miles of Santa Cruz. The lodges offer amenities including king suites, swimming pools, Jacuzzis and spa services for a luxurious yet secluded experience in the Bolivian plains. With access to nearly one million farming acres, they hunt migratory doves from April to October. The dove population has increased rapidly due to the boom of the agricultural industry. It’s estimated that 50-60 million doves arrive annually. All guests will get a pigeon shoot during their stay.

Shooting

Bolivian Adventures offers 3- or 4-day all-inclusive high-volume dove hunts at Las Palomas Lodge or Los Guaduales. With no bag limits, enjoy high volume shooting in the Gran Chaco plains of Bolivia. Great shooting and exceptional service sets the standard for this amazing hunting experience.

Accommodation

Los Guaduales offers 10 luxury suites, pool, spa, game room, BBQ, and sauna. Las Palomas has 12 double suites, a pool, jacuzzi, and excellent lodge service. Both lodges share an interesting onsite microbrewery for tours and tastings. The owner's wife wows guests with inventive cuisine and desserts.

Gear

The lodge has an array of Benelli and Beretta shotguns available for rent in 12, 20, and 28 gauges ($70/day). Shells will be provided by the outfitter ($18/box), and a total will be kept on account for your final bill after your trip has concluded.
