We thoroughly enjoyed our duck hunting trip to Argentina...and will be back, hopefully very soon. I also intend to travel again to Argentina in January 2006 for one of your fishing packages. Andres and his assistants, Mauricio and Martin, were at all times freindly and very professional. They all worked hard to ensure that the hunt went well. We also found the accomodations and the meals, especially the tradional barbeque prepared on our behalf on Saturday, to be first class. Finally, the number of game birds, especially waterfowl, were almost unbelievable. Please extend my thanks to your organization for a job well done.
Sincerely. |
