Fun Couples Trip
The 2015 Argentina Couples Trip was just completed and by all accounts it was a great success. Trek owners
at the beautiful Alvear Palace and included visits to Recolota Cemetery, Evita Peron’s Tomb, Metropolitan
Cathedral, and a private tour of the Great Opera House. Of course no trip to Beunos Aires is complete without
a night of Tango and this year
was no exception with Rojo Tango
doing the honors. After leaving
for four nights and shacked up at
the fabulous Guayascate Lodge
daily massage/spa therapy. Yes
all this from one incredible 5-star
lodge. The trip ended with three
restaurants, wineries and sights/
sounds of the city. Perhaps the
highlight of the entire trip may have
been the cooking class at Domino
del Plata Winery where everyone
came out as experts. More on
this trip can be found on Trek’s
Homepage with a blog posted by Trek President Milton Hanburry. Look for more couples trips in 2016 with
excursions to Panama (Feb), Tucuman (April), and Portugal (Oct) already planned. Look for more details in
our Fall Catalog or call now for preliminary information.

T r e k Tr acks
Just returned from a great couples trip in
Argentina with the boss. It was a small group
this year as we had a few late cancellations,
but sometimes, big things come in small
packages!!
I had been telling some of my more sporting
neighbors how much fun Cara and I have on
these trips and what interesting people we
meet. Hadn’t many takers because the wives
think they will be roughing it as the itinerary
called for some hunting. Well our good
friends the Lear’s, or more importantly Miss
Paula, decided they wanted to see Argentina
and signed up to travel with us. After the first
night in Buenos Aires, actually after the first
hour, they had already made great friends
with the Bernard’s from Texas who were also
on the trip. It could have been the martinis
that Alvear Palace bartender Enrique was
creating or just the festive atmosphere that
is B.A., but it was apparent this crowd was
going to be fun, fun fun.
Leaving B.A. behind we headed to Cordoba
for some hunting and relaxing. If the Alvear
Palace didn’t dispel the myth about rustic
hunting accommodations and not being fit
for the Mrs., Guayascate Lodge certainly did.
I am always amazed at the impression people
get when they see this lodge for the first time,
perched up on the hill like a 5-star resort in
Scottsdale. You are then paraded to the entry
like royalty where a waiting staff presents
you with a warm towel, glass of champagne
and hors-d’oeuvres!! Geez, it sure doesn’t
take long to know you are in a special place.
Guayascate has matured wonderfully since
opening in November of 2010 and credit
goes to its design, maintenance and the
owners desire to be the best. And if it weren’t
already tops in the industry, they have added
a huge new fire pit and outdoor kitchen
that will now be the place to embellish the
day’s hunt.
After three great days of hunting, relaxing
and overindulgence at Guayascate, our team
made its way to Mendoza and the ideally
located Park Hyatt Hotel. We ventured
out to wineries and learned about Malbec,
Cabernet, Merlot and blends in between,
but also enjoying the company of each other
while soaking in the beautiful landscapes and
backdrop of the Andes. The city itself was
fun, entertaining and we could all see why
it has become so popular. The highlight of
the trip may have been the five-hour cooking
class conducted by one José Cacciavillani
from the Dominio del Plata Winery, who
met his obligation to teach us the fine art
of cooking with wood while also being
entertaining. He passed on both counts
despite the fact he was suffering severe jet
lag, having just arrived from a cooking
seminar in Taiwan. We learned how to
make empanadas, tasted new recipes and
basically assisted in cooking the meal José
had planned. Special props to Messrs. Lear,
Bernard and Senner who are excellent cooks
themselves and played their parts to the hilt!
We spent ten days together and it went
pretty quick, a testament to the fun we had
and the engaging personalities of all who
attended. A fact hammered home by Miss
Paula who says, “sign me up next year”; I
cannot say more than that!
On another note, we have been inundated
with calls to hunt and fish in Cuba and yes we
are looking into it and will have something
available soon. Just please understand that
Trek will not promote a trip unless it is
locked down tight with no ambiguities and
gray areas. There are presently some U.S.
companies promoting fishing trips to Cuba
with claims that dates are almost gone for
2016 and come with a 50% increase in
prices since the Yanks are now involved.
This doesn’t include additional fees to get
the right permits. I know you are excited
about seeing this country and so are we,
but we will align ourselves with like-minded
outfitters and companies who have our/your
best interest at heart, this vetting process is
slow but ongoing.
As many of you know, Cuba has been
receiving visitors from the rest of the world
and there has been much writing about
their experiences and we will draw on those
when we offer our trips. Flats and deep-sea
fishing trips seem to be in place and a clearer
path to success but fresh water fishing and
hunting trips will be more of a challenge. But
make no mistake about it, we are doing our
homework and will offer trips with reasonable
-3-
expectations
i n i t i a l l y,
keeping in
mind that
Cuba is still
many years
b e h i n d
the rest of
western
civilization.
Yet like many
of you, I am
still excited
to see this
Caribbean
nation despite all its shortages and negative
press. In some ways even more so than when
the floodgates open, and they will open
barring some last minute political snafu. I
might even grow a beard, add a few pounds
and pass myself off as Ernest Hemingway;
some say I am already headed that way.
We have received some good news that
starting on July 4th Aerolineas Argentinas
is starting non-stop service from Miami
to Cordoba, Argentina. The flight initially
departs/returns on Saturdays and Sundays
only and using the Airbus A-330 aircraft,
a mid-size wide bodied with a 2-4-2 coach
seating arrangement and Business Class.
The flight down is an overnight while the
return is during the day. We have already
booked this flight for several customers and
some are looking at options that include
the non-stop into Cordoba and the return
from B.A., which offers daily flights back to
Miami. Call Shaun McKanna in our office
for more details including attractive Business
Class fares.
Lastly I want to thank everyone again for
taking the time to fill out the surveys we send
when you return from one of our trips. They
have proven to be immeasurable in helping
Trek and our team of outfitters improve their
services. Muchas Gracias!!
Milton Hanburry, Jr. President.
Argentina - Malalcue
29°59’33.17” S 59°31’10.26” W
Variety is the Spice of Life…
Especially When Bird Hunting.
Considering the volume and variety of birds to hunt in Argentina, it only makes sense to experience as much as
possible on your trip. Malalcue Lodge has a long-standing tradition of hosting Trek’s mixed bag bird groups, but
lately the lodge and program have received a facelift.
The Trip: Sportsman traveling to the Corrientes
Region of Argentina will take an overnight
flight from the US landing in Buenos Aires. A
Trek rep will meet you and assist your group
when arriving then transfer you to the domestic
airport for the flight to Santa Fe. Ariel Semenov
or Gustavo Pavon will meet you in Santa Fe
and drive you to the Malalcue Lodge, stopping
on the way for an afternoon dove hunt. The
following four days are full hunting days. On
your last day you will shoot in the morning only,
and then transfer back to Buenos Aires for your
flight home. Guest may also elect to reserve a
private charter, which Trek will be happy to
assist with all arrangements.
areas and quite possibly the
most fun of all the species
we hunt. You’ll see these
fast birds buzzing through
trees and only giving you
a split-second to squeeze
off several shots, but still
expect to shoot 500+
rounds in an afternoon.
The beauty of Malalcue is
you do not loose hunting
days by traveling around
Argentina searching for
each species; just relax and
enjoy the hunting.
The Shooting: While other mixed bag
outfitters use several different lodges all hours
apart, Malalcue gives hunters the ability to
shoot duck, dove, Perdiz and pigeon all out of
the same lodge day after day. In recent years,
the pigeon population around the Corrientes
Region has thrived due to the increase and
expansion of agricultural practices allowing Trek
to now offer two full days of pigeon hunting,
practically unheard of on a mixed bag program.
The decoying pigeon hunts will be built around
the ever-popular Perdiz flushed by pointers and
spaniels along with morning hunts for ducks.
This area of Argentina is a migratory interstate
for a variety of South American duck species
and from May through August, one of the
most populated. Doves are shot mostly in roost
The Accommodations:
With the growing popularity
of super lodges around
Argentina these days, Malalcue is standing by its
charm and culture as many hunters still enjoy the
feeling of being at a hunting lodge and not resort.
Outfitter Ariel Semenov has made many changes
to provide the comforts of these “resorts” without
loosing the character of Malalcue. The lodge has six
deluxe rooms with new bedding, five remodeled
bathrooms, a brand-new massage room and spa,
along with re-designed porch and foyer to enjoy
that cocktail and cigar. Excellent cuisine, impeccable
service and instant camaraderie are all the more
reason to visit Malalcue Lodge.
TRIP FEE: $5395.00 per person based on
double occupancy.
DESCRIPTION: Trip fee covers commercial
airfare from Buenos Aires to Santa Fe, four full
and two half days of shooting, food and lodging
at Malalcue Lodge, all permits and transfers.
A $1,500.00 non-refundable deposit is
required to confirm your reservation.
GAME: Ducks, Dove, Pigeon and Perdiz.
SEASON: May - August
Dates: Call for availability.
Pricing is subject to change and excludes any fuel surcharges.

Cordoba Argentina
The closest thing to automatic you can get… What better way
to describe Trek’s most successful bird-hunting program ever
offered? Cordoba Argentina is THE place to dove hunt with an
estimate 32 million dove in the Cordoba province alone and
increasing each year. If you have dreamed of shooting a thousand
dove or more in a day, Trek can help make that dream come true.
Our longtime Cordoba partners, H&H Outfitters, own & operate
four deluxe lodges and hunt over 30,000 acres of their privately
owned land all while providing the finest service of any outfitter
around. In typical Trek fashion, you will enjoy only the finest
beef and Malbecs while having an unforgettable time shooting
both morning and afternoons. Our normal program is three full
and two half days of shooting for $2,400 not including airfare.
Ask about our father/son specials and we hope to see you in
Cordoba soon!
San Luis Argentina Pigeon & Dove Combo
What more could the traveling wingshooter ask for than a high
volume hunt for both pigeons and dove out of one lodge. San Luis
Argentina is exactly this; skies filled with thousands of pigeons
and dove! With introduction of Dos Plumas Lodge, a brand new
5 bedroom lodge, outfitter Ramiro de las Carreras has built this
program over the last 12 years to be the leading TRUE pigeon
and dove combo hunt. You will see a mixture of both pigeons
working decoy spreads and the pass shooting guys looking for a
challenge enjoy all while having mixed high volume dove hunts.
Logistics are easy as most hunters are taking an overnight flight to
Santiago Chile and connecting to Mendoza where Ramiro will be
on hand to transfer you to Dos Plumas. We suggest at least four
full shooting days, but can certainly tailor a program to your exact
request. Don’t forget to ask about an extended trip to Mendoza
to enjoy one of the world’s most famous wine regions! The season
is April – August with pricing starting at $2,995/shooter (double
occupancy) not including airfare, shells, gratuities or gun rental.
Argentina Duck – Buenos Aires Province
For the duck hunter who likes to keep things traditional, Trek’s
Buenos Aires Province duck hunt is exactly that, decoying ducks
called into a well-placed spread. The difference in shooting ducks
in Argentina is that you can easily fill a bag with eleven different
species from southern widgeon to the large rosy billed pochard.
Brothers Cano and Cane St. Antonin are proven outfitters and will
be your host on this wonderful hunt while providing exceptional
service. We have two lodge options including Monte Laguna
Lodge, outside of the small town of Casares, having six bedrooms
and spacious living room giving off a quaint lodge feel. Near
Lincoln, we will use the stately Estacia San Juan with seven rooms
and built at the turn of the 20th century. Both lodges feature
short drives to the hunting grounds along with trained chefs to
keep you happy and each is located about three hours outside of
Buenos Aires. Trips start at $3,750 /hunter not including airfare
and season runs May through July.

Estancia El Colibri Returns
In 2006 Trek Safaris agreed to offer dove hunts from a new property
called Estancia El Colibri on the northern outskirts of the city of
Cordoba, Argentina nestled amongst the Ascochinga Mountains.
It was an upgrade from our three traditional lodges and quickly
became popular as group after group roamed the 420 acres of their
manicured grounds located within minutes of millions of eared dove
roosting nearby.
Our longtime friends H&H Outfitters, whom have established great
relations with owners Stephanie and Raoul Fenestraz, operate the
dove hunts from Colibri. There is no shortage of fields near Colibri
as Alex and Zeke Hayes have accumulated many acres of land in
this area, farming and rotating crops to assure there are always dove
flying nearby. Truly a high volume dove shooting affair!!
The Fenestraz Family name has a reputation of being a world class
hotelier with properties worldwide including El Colibri, combining
the ambiance and traditions of a working early 20th century estancia
with the style and luxury of a five star hotel. The colonial style
estancia offers nine distinct, yet exquisitely appointed rooms and
operates on a full board basis. Two of these rooms are suites that
are a must stay for those who wish to upgrade. With roots deep in
French heritage and customs, Raoul and Stephanie offer the finest
cuisine possible using firebrick ovens for incredible baked breads,
pizzas and fine meals. And of course, we can’t forget those wonderful
steaks from grass fed cattle grilled on mesquite wood coals that are
famous here along with the best Malbec, White and Blended wines.
Aside from the dove and pigeon shooting that is legendary in this
region, guests can enjoy a menu of non-hunting activities to include
horseback riding, polo lessons, trekking, go-cart racing, fishing
and biking. If you prefer a little slower pace, you may opt for some
shopping in Cordoba followed by a visit to the old Jesuit Churches
in the area, or simply relax with a massage and pedicure in the spa.
You may also elect to curl up with a good book at the swimming pool
and soak up some of the sun that is so abundant here in Cordoba.
Given the level of service and list of amenities and activities, El
Colibri is the perfect venue for anyone seeking a high-end facility
with a great track record, and unlimited dove shooting from the
most reputable sporting company in Cordoba. To reach El Colibri
you need only to fly into Cordoba from Buenos Aires, Panama City
or Santiago, Chile followed by a 50- minute private transfer to the
lodge where the staff and owners wait with great anticipation. Trek
can arrange your airfare upon request and can offer discounted
Business Class airfare on select airlines. Season is year round and
like many trips Trek arranges, we can customize amount of shooting
days and itinerary.

Nicaragua
12°36’21.47” N 87°07’49.45” W
What can be better than a Teal Hunt in
Shorts?
Barely two hours from Miami and you are smack in the middle of some of the best teal hunting in the world.
In our efforts to always improve our programs, we have recently upgraded to the newly opened Hotel Farallones
where all shooters will enjoy the luxury of single room accommodations. Very few spots remain for 2015.
The Hunting: Imagine sitting comfortably
in a lush, tropical lagoon as the Papagayo
winds are gently tugging at your back,
when a flock of teal come zipping into
your decoys against the back drop of a
smoking volcano. This scene is played
out every day from October-March
in Nicaragua, home to one the largest
concentrations of wintering blue winged
teal in Central America. Literally thousands
and thousands of these fast flying ducks
call Nicaragua home through mid March
or as long as the water holds. Add in some
challenging white winged and mourning
doves and you have the makings of a
nice mixed bagged hunt in warm tropical
climes. You will also have the opportunity
to take pintails, spoonbills, widgeons and
Pichiguilas (Fulvous tree duck).
Dear Kevin,
Just a note to advise you that we
had a fantastic hunt in Nicaragua
the few days befire Thanksgiving.
There were more ducks this year
than on many of my several hunts
to Nicaragua. The new hotel was
beautiful with good food and a
nice bar.

The Accommodations:
The Hotel Farallones
features single room
accommodations with
hot water, AC, cable
TV, WiFi, and large
swimming pool with
outdoor BBQ setting.
Me a l s a n d d r i n k s
will be taken in the
restaurant and lounge.
The Trip: The trip starts upon arrival in to
Managua, Nicaragua. Groups are met at the
airport by your hosts, Marvin or Richard
Townsend, or staff and taken by air-conditioned
vans straight to the newly constructed Hotel
Farallones in Chinandega- about a two hour drive
on paved highway. The following three days are
full hunting days. We will shoot both morning
and afternoon returning to the hotel for lunch
and a siesta in the middle of the day. Usually
we’ll hunt ducks in the mornings and dove in the
afternoons depending on game concentration and
time of year. We can customize your trip as well
to include as many ducks hunts as you wish and
price accordingly.

Mexico Duck, Dove & Quail – La Finca Lodge
Many of you may remember sights of hundreds of ducks floating
into spreads on the famous Laguna Madre or hedgerows littered with
100% wild quail coveys. It was also some of the best white-wing dove
hunting you could find. The amount of birds around the Mexican
state of Tamaulipas has not changed and if anything, has grown due
to the lack of hunting pressure since 2010. We all know the reason
outfitters pulled out in 2010, but Trek has been keeping an eye on
the situation and recently received some very positive reports. This
past year Steve McCain, Jr. called to inform Trek he was reopening
the popular La Finca Lodge in the city of San Fernando.
In March, I touched down in Harlingen Texas to meet Steve and feel
things out so we could make our own assessment. I saw first hand
the huge military and federal police presence between Matamoros
and San Fernando. It seems the Mexican government has made a
stand to regain control of these areas and they have done a great
job. The military has leased several old hotels in San Fernando and
established satellite bases, which has given residents the security to
walk their streets and enjoy their city again. San Fernando’s square
was filled with families and children interacting with no fear and
businesses were open and thriving. A military base is being built
right where Steve will be launching boats at Laguna Madre and he
has already established relationships with the military personnel of
the base. All very good signs for the future!
About two hours after landing in Harlingen, we pulled up at La
Finca Lodge. I was pleasantly surprised at the work Steve has put
into the lodge and his operation to make it a success. La Finca has
twelve bedrooms all with private baths, a large dining room with
full bar, two lounge areas and a nice pool with bar. The lodge is
very comfortable and clean while being well located to the hunting
areas (about 45 minutes to Laguna Madre and from 15-50 minutes
to dove & quail hunting). Steve has the experience having grown up
in the bayous of Louisiana and hunting in Mexico for some 15 years
already. He has employed a knowledgeable staff hiring several staff
members from the old Pintail Lodge including head guide, Juan.
Steve was able to run over a hundred guys through La Finca last year
with everyone having a great experience.
The main plan right now is to offer a white-wing dove hunt starting
in August and transition into the combo duck/quail/dove season
towards the first of November. Steve will be hunting ducks in Laguna
Madre and surrounding fresh water lakes/ponds with most species
being Redheads, Pintails and Widgeon. White-Wings will be shot
on surrounding farms close to San Fernando along with quail in the
same areas. Logistics are simple as you can choose to fly into either
Brownsville or Harlingen, TX and be met by Steve. Dove hunts
will be $2,250/person with duck/dove/quail combo hunts running
$3,000/hunter including gun rental. I will be hosting two back-toback dates for duck/quail/dove on November 15-19 & November
19-22, so call today and reserve your spot.

Estancia Ninette – Uruguay
With the year round dove hunting and major roost literally next
door, Estancia Ninette always has great dove shooting within a
short drive from the lodge. The best time for the high volume
doves is September – March, but should you want to try the
excellent combination hunting for dove and perdiz, May – July
is the combination season. Uruguay has without a doubt the
best perdiz hunting that South America offers. Situated above
the Rio Negro River, Ninette also offers golden dorado fishing
for those who may want to try the luck at something other than
bird hunting. One of the major beauties of Uruguay is the ease
of getting your shotguns in and out of the country. It is a very
simple process and one that Trek handles before you arrive, so
within a few minutes of arriving you have your guns cleared.
With direct flights from Miami to the capital city of Montevideo,
Uruguay continues to be growing on every wingshooter’s list of
countries to experience. Dove only hunts start at $1,995/shooter
and combination dove & perdiz hunts start at $3,295/shooter.
Call Trek today to experience the delightful country of Uruguay.
Paraguay Pigeon – Picazuro Lodge
For over thirty-five years, Erik von Sneidern has been a staple in
providing successful hunting trips for Trek and is one of the last
remaining “old school” outfitters. His Picazuro Lodge in the Chaco
Region of Paraguay offers shooters the best decoy pigeon hunting
found anywhere in the world. The lodge consist of eight single rooms
all with private baths, indoor & outdoor dinning areas, a comfortable
indoor lounge, WiFi and is located in close proximity to the hunting
fields. The normal program is three full and one half day of shooting,
but we can certainly tailor the amount of hunting days you prefer. Erik
is as hands on as it comes rising early to have blinds set up in the fields
that have been scouted the day before, so all you need to do is settle
into your blind, load your gun, and prepare to shoot to your heart’s
content. Trips start at $4,395/shooter including round trip private
charter from Asuncion, hunting license, gun permit, meals & lodging.
International or Domestic airfare is not including in this program.
La Leyenda Lodge – Bolivia
As we got to print, the 2015 season is now in full swing. Word
from long time Trek partner, Carlos Olano is that the dove have
already shown up in good numbers and even the pigeons are
making an early season appearance. Carlos and his lovely wife
Olga have pampered Trek shooters for nearly 20 years, going
back to the early days in Colombia. The warm, inviting feeling
you get when you walk in the doors of La Leyenda will stay with
you then and much later as a beautiful memory. Trek will again
be offering a 3 shooting day and a 4 shooting day adventure to
this dove hot spot. The season is brief, running from April until
November 1, and with prices running from just $ 2,250.00 +
airfare for the 3 shooting day program, space fills quickly. For
those dad’s looking for the perfect summer time trip with their
young son or daughter, the father/ son special running in July
is just what you are looking for…dad at the normal rate and
the minor son, or daughter with a full lodge comp ! Call Trek

Kwalata Wilderness - South Africa
23°53’33.23”S 28° 9’24.67”E
Arrive as Clients but Leave as Family.
Why embark on a trip half way around the world and do everything yourself when you can contact Trek to
take care of all the details and provide unmatched service
Trek has put together a program that will send
you on your dream safari and keep fueling
the fire to do it again and again. Kwalata
Wilderness is our outfitter in the Limpopo
Providence of South Africa and provides one
of the best plain’s game hunts anywhere in
Africa.

with your arrival in Johannesburg South Africa
where you will be met by a Kwalata Wilderness
representative. They will help you clear customs

hours to the lodge. Jaco or one of his Professional
Hunters will guide you for the next seven
days on your African safari. The last day you
will have breakfast before transferring back to
Johannesburg and your flight home. You may
also wish to extend for a game viewing safari or
sightseeing to many of the other areas of South
Africa, all of which Trek can help you arrange.
The Accommodations: Valamanzi is the main
camp and lodge located in the African bush on
a small river that provides a quiet and peaceful
atmosphere. You will stay in one of the three cozy
chalets complete with two bedrooms, a bathroom
and lounge area. Built on stilts overlooking the

takes place on 32,000
acres of beautiful and
challenging land in the

Wildebeest, Impala, Blesbuk, and Warthog.
However, there are over twenty plains game
species you may wish to add to your package

a chance to harvest your animals.

Timing is right to Travel to Europe
If hunting in Europe is on your bucket list, now is a good time as
the dollar is trading favorably with the Euro. Trek has programs in
Spain, and Slovakia where you can save some serious money from
what you would have paid in the last five years. These trips are also
perfectly suited for couples.
In Spain we have two excellent options for driven Red-Legged
Partridge in El Crespo and Pinos Altos located in the fabled Castilla
de la Mancha Region of Don Quixote lore. Our good friends
Fernando Saiz and Beltran Cotoner run a smooth and exciting
operation at Pinos Altos, a 16th century home on 10,000 acres of
prime game lands. Cotoner is one of the world’s best game drivers
as he orchestrates the beaters to drive the fast and hearty Red-Legs
into a patterned concentration straight into the line of eight stands.
Gunners are then met with the swift birds that are some of the
most challenging flighted game you will ever witness. Each of the
four daily drives you experience will all be distinguished from one
another. Some drives the birds will come all at once, some they will
trickle at first, followed by a crescendo at the end. Some drives the
birds will be high, some lower, but always exciting.
El Crespo is the latest Red-Leg addition to Trek’s program, owned
by the reputable Jose Manuel Landaluce whose passion is partridge
hunting. El Crespo is a 36,000-acre working estate under the care
of his son-in-law Pedro de Borbón Dos Sicilias. Together they have
been organizing tremendous driven hunts for the last 30 plus years
and have become one of the best shooting estates in Spain. The
main building of El Crespo was constructed in 1985 and has been
updated and modernized over the years and is a magnificent setting
overlooking their expansive property. Both El Crespo and Pinos
Altos are easily reached from Madrid International with private
transfers two and half to two hours respectively. Both hunts are 600
bird days, please call for selected dates and pricing.
Trek also offers a terrific driven pheasant hunt in Eastern Europe.
Our Slovak hunt offers wonderful value and ideally located in
the hills of southwestern Slovakia, equal distance from Vienna
or Budapest. Trek has reserved three outstanding estates, names
like Pata, Bajc, Hrable are all top class operations and establish
a style of shooting that may be catered to each group, some with
very high birds and some not as. For this hunt we have contracted
150 birds per hunter over the three days, which can be achieved
without difficulty. Each day the Estate will arrange five to six drives
to pre-assigned stands using beaters, dogs and the traditional horn
blows signaling the start and end of each drive. The best time to go
is the fall months before winter sets in. Headquarters will be the
well-established Chateau Bela in the township of its namesake; it
has history and culture yet recently renovated to add some modern
day features. Bela has 42 rooms with private baths, and all the
conveniences of a deluxe property. We will eat in a different dining
room each night offering a unique theme to the evenings and
include some of the Riesling wines Bela is famous for producing.
Extended tours in Vienna or Budapest are highly suggested.

Bolivia - Las Palomas Lodge & Los Guaduales Lodge
17°37’19.87” S . 62°18’04.09” W
“The Legend” lives on at La Leyenda
While we knew we were going to have a great beginning of the 2015 season at Los Guaduales, we had no
idea the response would be so great. We have received statements proclaiming Guaduales and the Molina’s as
the best lodge and outfitter ever!! Call for references.
The best just keeps getting better ! As outlined
in recent issues, Trek partner Jorge Molina
has built his version of the Taj Mahal and
has named it Los Guaduales. This beautifully
appointed 20,000 square foot palace will
offer the shooter the ultimate in comfort
and amenities. For the 2015 season, Jorge
will be offering our lucky shooters both his
famous Las Palomas Lodge, or the opulence
of the newly constructed Los Guaduales.
With daily flights out of Miami on American
Airlines, Bolivia has become one of Treks
most popular wing shooting destinations.
Add to that the tremendous number of dove
migrating annually into this massive farming
region and the comparatively short flight
times into Santa Cruz, and it is no wonder
that every year the number of Trek shooters
planning a Bolivia trip increases. Like our
other Bolivia programs, we will be offering a
3 and a 4 shooting day program. As we go to
print, both Las Palomas and the newly opened
Los Guaduales are over 50% booked, so please
contact Trek today to reserve your spots.
The Trip: Although airfare is not included, the
best way to get to Bolivia is on American Airlines
who offer daily flights to Santa Cruz, out of
Miami. Currently the itinerary is for an overnight
flight to Santa Cruz, via La Paz, Bolivia. When
you arrive into Santa Cruz you will be met by
a member of Jorge’s staff who will assist you
through customs and then provide the 90-minute
ground transfer to your preferred lodge. After
lunch and getting settled in, your group will head
out to shoot this afternoon. The next two, or
three days will be full shooting days. Depending
on where you shot, you’ll either return to the
lodge for lunch, or enjoy one of the field lunches
that Jorge has become famous for. The next day
you will shoot the morning, before having lunch
and being transferred back to Santa Cruz where
you will spend this final night. The last morning,
you will be met at the hotel and be transferred to
the airport for your morning departure, arriving
back into Miami about 5:30pm.
TRIP FEE: Las Palomas Lodge- $1,995.00 per
shooter for the 3 shooting day trip. $2,595.00
per shooter for the 4 shooting day trip.
LOS GUADUALES LODGE
$ 2,395.00 per shooter for the 3 shooting day trip.
$ 3,295.00 per shooter for the 4 shooting day trip.

Cruz, but is to include all shooting, licenses and

to confirm your reservation.
SEASON: April-November

Brazil - Peacock Bass
0°0’19.81” N . 64°7’27.76” W
All New Short Trip in the Amazon.
You asked and we have delivered… The way time flies now, winter will be here before we know it, but Trek
has a solution to escape the bitter cold without maxing out your vacation time.
For several seasons now, Trek clients have requested
a shorter trip on the deluxe mother ship Captain
Peacock fishing for the ever-popular peacock bass
in Brazil’s Amazon. After discussing this with
Captain Peacock, we have blocked two prime dates
for the 2015 season offering four and half days of
fishing with five nights onboard the yacht for the
perfect amount of rod bending action.
Having over twenty years experience fishing
for peacocks in Brazil, we determined the most
productive dates for both quantity and quality
of fish would center around November 28 –
December 4 or December 3-9, 2015 as these are
two of the best weeks in the absolute heart of the
season. Sure we could offer this same idea during
an earlier or later time during the season, but Trek
has a reputation to uphold and we feel our duty to
give clients the most for their money.
to the fishing grounds quickly and in comfort while
slamming big fish.
All these comforts are nice, but the real reason you
are going to Brazil is to catch a huge peacock! This
trip offers the perfect amount fishing to keep you
fresh each morning and excited for day. Arriving
into Manuas from the US, you will be met by
Captain Peacock’s representative and transferred to
the Cesar hotel for the night. The next morning we
will catch a private charter to Barcelos and board
the yacht for an afternoon of fishing. The next
four days will be full days targeting peacocks and
enjoying the full experience of the Amazon. On
The 125-foot Captain Peacock will comfortably
accommodated up to 24 guests in 12 staterooms.
Each stateroom has spacious walk in private
bathrooms with hot water, its own independent
air-conditioning system, satellite TV, and large
windows with outside views. There is an oversized
dining room and lounge along with a unique upper
deck open bar/lounge with full outside view area.
The Captain Peacock is by far the most luxurious
fishing yacht floating the Amazon. Couple all this
with 12 new Bass Tracker boats captained by expert
guides and you create the perfect vehicle to get you
-14-
the sixth morning, we will take the charter back to
Manaus and connect with a flight home or check
into a day room at the Cesar depending on your
flight schedules.
Price for this trip is $5,495/angler and includes
all guided fishing, five nights on Captain Peacock
with meals, drinks, full bar, charter flight round
trip Manaus/Barcelos, meet & greet in Manaus,
hotel room at the Cesar when arriving and day
room when departing (if needed) in Manaus.
Excitement has already spread and space is filling
quickly, so call Trek today and book your spot on
this all new Amazon short trip.
Canada…Summer fishing
As weather warms up, our sights turn to our Northern neighbors
and the fantastic fisheries to be found there. Whether you are
looking for feisty small mouth bass, non stop action on Walleye
or monster Northern Pike and lunker Lake Trout, Trek has
a program just for you. Our preferred Canadian Lodges are
all family owned and operated, ensuring you the very best in
hands on, personalized attention. The Gangler family owns and
operates the North Seal River Lodge in Northern Manitoba, a
haven for Trophy sized Pike and monster Lake Trout. Brian and
Barb Burgess are the second generation owners of the famous
Pine Island Lodge, just a few hours outside of Winnipeg and
home to great small mouth bass action. If a walleye destination
is on your radar, check out the Budd family’s lodge on Lake
Gunisao, just a 70 minute flight north of Winnipeg. These 3
families have personally served the traveling angler for multiple
generations and know what it takes to make yours a trip to
remember. With programs starting at less than $ 3,000.00 per
person, we can build a trip for any budget. Call Trek for details.
Oregon.. Smallmouth bass on the
John Day River
While most of Trek’s offerings require that you bring your
passport, here’s one gem that is close to home and definitely
worth your time. The breathtaking beauty of the rugged
landscape of northern Oregon is the backdrop for a smallmouth
bass float trip and has been a Trek favorite for nearing 20 years.
Imagine floating the majestic John Day River, releasing up to
50 smallmouth bass each day and then arriving at the camp,
which has already been set up by our top notch crew. The star
filled skies will illuminate your evenings while you relax around
a campfire and well…relax. Many folks extend this trip to take
in the incredible scenery in this part of our country. The only
downside to this trip is it’s very short season, basically the end
of May until early July, so call Trek today for details and current
availability.
Alaska’s The Boat Company
If it is your desire to tour the Inland Passage without boarding a
cruise with hundreds of people then we have the perfect trip for
you. Come and see one of the most beautiful places on earth on
board the MV Liseron where everything you love about Alaska
is available in one cruise of 20 guests and 10 crew! Among the
many activities offered are; hiking, whale watching, kayaking,
glacier viewing, rainforest tours and fishing. Yes that’s right a
cruise company that offers and encourages fishing. Halibut,
Cutthroat Trout and several species of salmon are all available

in Seattle and sold to France as minesweeper, then lovingly
acquired and refitted by the Boat Company in 1989. It is 145’

Grand Slam Lodge - Cancun
19 48’34.45” N 87 23’38.13” W
A Luxury Barefoot
Destination.
If you find yourself looking for a deluxe property offering great flats fishing this year, we have got just the place
and it is aptly called Grand Slam Lodge. Here you have the opportunity to take snook, tarpon, bonefish and
giant permit right out the front door along Mexico’s Mayan Riviera. Fantastic trip for a great price.
The owners of the Karisma Hotel Group, who
include in their portfolio some of the most
deluxe resorts in the Yucatan, decided to open
a five star fly fishing lodge and have recruited
Trek to get the word out. We of course have
done our homework and give it our seal of
approval and we think you will too.
The Trip: The nice thing about Grand Slam is
that you can arrive any day of the week and stay
as short as three nights or as long as seven. You
need only to arrange your flight into Cancun
where you will be met to make the two-hour
ground, and one-hour boat transfer south
along the coast to the lodge. The last hour is a
beautiful cruise through Sian Ka’an Biosphere
Reserve that ends at Grand Slam. Each morning
your local guide will be equipped and ready to
go by 8:00AM and back in time for a shower
and a wonderful dinner. The last day of your
trip will be transferred back to Cancun to make
your flight home.
The Fishing: GSL general manager Miguel
Encalada has put together a team of guides that
fits his criteria for showing guests not only some
great fishing but a good time as well. Using
20-23 foot Panga skiffs they set out each day in
the fabled Ascension Bay and beyond in search
of some of the most heart stopping salt water
species on the planet. Small tarpon cruise the
small canals, teeming bonefish feed with their
tails glistening on the numerous flats, snook lay
in the shadows of mangroves and giant permit
roam in between. It is not uncommon to land
this grand slam of light tackle angling in a single
day. The two best assets of GSL is that you can
take fish on fly rod or spinning rod and there
is always a lee side.

Belize…Turneffe Flats Lodge
This premier lodge has been on the traveling anglers “A” list for
over 20 years and for a good reason, it is an awesome place to take
a fishing vacation. Located just 40 miles off the coast of mainland
Belize, this tropical atoll is a bucket list item for anglers looking
for the perfect spot to earn the elusive “Grand Slam”. Whether
fishing the numerous lagoons and mangroves from custom 16
foot Dolfin Skiffs, to wading the miles of flats on the ocean side
of the island, you will have legitimate shots and bonefish, tarpons
and the ever elusive permit. Although the standard program is
for a Saturday-Saturday, full week, with 6 days of fishing, we are
able to offer more of a weekender for those who’d prefer to enjoy
just 3 days on the water. With the current specials running from
$ 2,450.00 + taxes and airfare for the short week and $ 2,995.00
+ taxes and airfare for the full week program. With the prime
fishing months of summer and fall right around the corner, space
will fill quickly, so call Trek today for dates and details.
The Bahamas
When looking for a lodge to bone fish in the Bahamas, there are
four key factors you must address, accommodations/cuisine,
fishing area, guides and equipment. Abaco Lodge on Abaco and
Bair’s Lodge on Andros, more than pass the grade for all four.
Abaco is located ten minutes from the Marsh Harbour Airport
on the shores of the fabled Marls ecosystem, one of the most
populated and pristine bone fishing flats in the Bahamas. Ten
minutes from Abaco Lodge’s docks will get you into tailing fish.
Eight lucky anglers will get private rooms and some of the best
local guides in Abacos. Bair’s Lodge on Andros Island has more
bonefish habitat than all the other Out-Islands combined, and
no island has more double digit bones, a trophy all flats anglers
desire. The Southern Flats are a very desirable, intricate fishery
with access to wading flats, small bays, lagoons and the west
side where few anglers are present. Bair’s has ten rooms located
right on the beach with wading flats at your doorstep. Price from
$3250.00 including 4 nights/3 days fishing with room and meals.
Crocodile/Zancudo Costa Rica
The Southern region of Costa Rica has, without a doubt, the
greatest diversity of species of fish to be found in the entire
country and we at Trek are proud to represent two fantastic
lodges in this area. Crocodile Bay’s manager Todd Staley has a
fleet of 27 foot center consoles to access the numerous “honey
holes”, home to monster grouper, toothy Cuberra snapper and
the always feisty roosterfish. In addition to these inshore targets,
you can easily scoot out to the blue water for sails, marlin, dorado
and even triple digit sized yellow fin tuna. Right across the gulf
is the famous Zancudo Lodge, home to more than 70 I.F.G. A.
world records where owners Gregg and Goldine will personally
welcome you and see to your every need. Zancudo Lodges fleet
of 28ft center consoles will comfortably get you into more fish
than your mind can even imagine. These are five day, four night
trips with three days of fishing, including meals at the lodge,
starting at $ 3,295.00 per person, plus airfare, based on double
occupancy with upgrades to boats in the 32-33 foot range
available at both lodges.

Summer Destinations for 2015
Now that summer is almost
here, why not plan that
next hunting or fishing
adventure with Trek. We
have both ends of the
equator covered with trips
to Alaska, Canada and
lower Stateside, as well as
Costa Rica, Bolivia and
Argentina. Check out
what we have to offer and
feel free to request more
information.
There are only a handful of
spaces left for what many
consider one of the best
Alaska trips ever on the
Boat Company. If catching
salmon and trout in pristine
waters against the backdrop
of glaciers appeals to you,
you might consider this
trip. Not just any fishing
trip mind you, but a guided inland passage on
board a remarkable vessel. Join us for some fun
on August 29- September 5, 2015.
The deluxe North Seal River Lodge in Manitoba,
Canada has a few dates remaining where you can
take advantage of some terrific Northern Pike,
Grayling, Walleye and Lake Trout angling from
glacier fed rivers in this wilderness setting. Call
for special pricings during the summer months
and learn more about the trip and optional remote
fly-outs as well.
One of our more underrated
trips is the John Day River
float through the Oregon
high desert country where
you can catch smallmouth
bass in the hundreds.
This trip is the perfect
combination of rafting,
fishing, camping, and critter
watching without the work.
This is just an ideal trip
for anyone who loves the
outdoors without roughing
it. Due to water levels,
timing is critical but June
and July are usually best.
Extend your trip to visit
any number of Oregon’s
many state parks like Mount
Hood.
Heading south the country
of Costa Rica is always a
great choice no matter when
you go. During summer
the weather is still nice and
the fishing is very good,
but without the crowds.

Roosterfish and giant Yellowfin Tuna are caught
just offshore at both Zancudo Lodge and Crocodile
Bay, two excellent options for these battling
species. If you prefer billfish, you can fish the
Quepos or Los Suenos ports where you can stay at
a five star property and land that sailfish or marlin
of your dreams.
For those who prefer chasing feathers than fins,
there are no better destinations than Bolivia and
Argentina to bust some caps on doves or marvel at
the great variety of species. Two of the finest wing
shooting lodges in the world are Los Guaduales in
Santa Cruz and Guayascate Lodge in Cordoba, and
you will become a believer too once you have seen
them firsthand. If mixed bag shooting is your fancy
then Argentina’s Estancia Cortaderas or Malalcue
Lodge will more than fit the bill with decoying
duck and pigeon hunting combined with perdiz
over dogs and high volume dove. These programs
are simply unparalleled anywhere else in the world
from one location.
These are just a few places we can offer this
summer and encourage you to call for special rates
and conditions. See inside for more details.
New Pigeon & Perdiz Program in Uruguay
known as the MonteCarlo of South American
with plenty of shopping
and fabulous restaurants.
So you are looking to hunt somewhere you can
easily bring your shotguns, not have to drive
several hours after arriving from a 9-hour flight,
and oh yea, shoot pigeons. Well, Trek is offering
an all-new program that will promote exactly this
in the hunter friendly country of Uruguay. We
have teamed with Gonzalo Sarasola who you may
recognize from Estancia Ninette. While “G” is
still involved at Ninette, we both agreed there is a
need for an affordable pigeon hunt complemented
by a nice lodge without the long drive from
Montevideo and options to shoot Perdiz.
Several months ago, G discovered a mass
concentration of pigeons in the fields just outside
the city of Minas while scouting the country
to find the ideal location for pigeon hunting
opportunities. Lucky for us, Minas is only a
little over an hour NW from the international
airport in Montevideo and situated in a beautiful
setting of rolling hills and valleys with plenty of
agriculture to support such hunting pressure.
Thousands of pigeons call this fertile land home
from February through September and
during May-July, Perdiz season is in full
swing giving the traveling wingshooter

From
wingshooters’
standards, this is the

you will shoot decoying
pigeons with flexible
limits and experience
the best Perdiz hunting
offered in South America.
Pigeon hunting will be
done
out
of brushed
blinds each
having a few dozen decoys and a
bird-boy to load and keep the spread
clean. The pigeon only program
will be both morning and afternoon
hunts with a nice field lunch and

through July, we use the Sarasola’s
famous Brittany Spaniels to flush
Perdiz either in the mornings
or
afternoons
