This is a place for shooting!
- Information
 Following proven years of success at Pica Zuro, La Dormida was built in direct response to requests from our clientele for a private lodge in which to entertain family and business colleagues. The Lodge will house as many as 8 doveshooters in style and comfort in 6 bedrooms with private baths.
La Dormida is newly constructed, and the amenities and design of the lodge reflect thoughtful details that will be appreciated by visiting shooters. While Pica Zuro is located in a working ranch location near the shooting, La Dormida is in the secluded foothills of the Sierras Chicas, and you and your private party can enjoy the comforts of a lodge you can call your own, in complete seclusion. From La Dormida, you won't be able to see a road, a power line, nor another building, so you can relax on the veranda and enjoy the great weather and splendid isolation.
David Denies Doveshooting is famous for it´s unparalleled service, and once again building upon these traditions our staff at La Dormida has been specially trained in the art of caring for private parties. From our seasoned field staff, who will keep you under Cordoba´s infamous flights of dove, to our household and kitchen staff, you will find that all are ready and waiting to serve you with speed and grace.
Meals at La Dormida feature the very best Argentine beef and other meats, and our menus are prepared by one of Argentina's best chefs. Carefully selected Argentine vintages complement field lunches and dinner in the lodge -- and indeed, the wines alone make La Dormida worthy of a visit!
From the moment you arrive in Argentina, our service is personalized and attention is paid to every maginable detail, from airport reception, to uniformed bird boys in the field. The David Denies standard has no equal, and makes a visit to Cordoba a shooting holiday without peer.
