SAN FERNANDO LODGE

SAN FERNANDO LODGE

Argentina is well known worldwide as a hunting paradise

The diversity of climates and large areas of land provide the perfect habitat development for a large number of species. San Fernando Lodge Farm and Hunting Club is located in the East of San Luis province, an area merged between the semi-arid climate region known as `Cuyo´ and the temperate climate of Cordoba. As a result we can find flatlands with natural pastures and heavy woods filled with trees like Calden or Chañar.
