El Durazno

Located in the province of San Luis (central Argentina) and operated exclusively by Paco Riestra, El Durazno Lodge is the largest free range in Argentina and South America, with an impressive number of red stags, buffalos, and black bucks. No high fence at all: superb 65,000 hectares of open hunting land, only Africa and Australia can match this conditions and size.

The red stag was introduced in 1906, and today we find an estimated population of more than 5000 red stags (and over 600 water buffalos).

The lodge is strategically located in the center of the estate, which allows us to cut down as much land as possible. Our small and charming lodge is set on a magical spot, with a beautiful garden and large lake in front of the house to relax after the hunting day.
