Hunting

“A spectacular shoot that has nothing to envy to the French President’s at Rambouillet”.

Camille Chaumon, President of Lebanon -1952

A unique experience

Santa Clara is a great hunting preserve of wild fauna, where the abundance of animals is the result of their natural breeding during the 19th century when hunting was forbidden. After that, princes, presidents and aristocrats have shot and hunt at this grounds, which houses one the best Perdiz shoots  in the world.

The hunting experience is a tailored stay that includes transfers to and from the Carrasco International Airport (Montevideo), arrangement for hunting and firearms permits, as well as providing an unforgettable stay at the Chateau.

With over thousands of acres of hunting grounds, Santa Clara offers a huge variety of shooting drives at an only 5/15 minute car-distance, with a longer 30 minute-drive in the case of deer hunting.

Hunting outings take place with the personalized assistance of professional gamekeepers who will provide shotguns, cartridges, trained dogs (Brittany, Pointer, Spaniel, Kurzhaar) and everything required for an optimal hunting experience.
