Bolivia remains an under‑the‑radar destination that primarily caters to wingshooters. The country’s agricultural heartland around Santa Cruz produces staggering numbers of doves and pigeons, offering high‑volume shoots from May through October. Big‑game opportunities are limited and regulations are still developing, so most hunts focus on birds.
Endless flights of doves and pigeons make Bolivia a paradise for wingshooters seeking an uncrowded adventure.
Santa Cruz Farmland Vast soybean and sunflower fields draw millions of doves and pigeons. Hunters set up near roosts and feed fields and enjoy action‑packed shoots with professional bird boys retrieving downed birds.
Flooded Pampas Seasonal wetlands attract ducks and other waterfowl, allowing combination hunts for ducks and doves.
Andean Foothills Limited big‑game opportunities exist in the foothills for whitetail deer and pumas, but these hunts are rare and require special permits.
Because Bolivia’s hunting industry is less developed, it’s essential to work with reputable outfitters who secure proper licenses and follow ethical practices. Most wingshooting trips occur during the dry season (May–October) when crops attract huge bird populations, and accommodations range from rustic lodges to comfortable hotels in Santa Cruz.
Notable Species Available in Bolivia Include:
Bolivia’s high‑volume bird shooting stands out even among South American destinations. Hunters who enjoy thousands of shots per day and uncrowded fields will find Bolivia a rewarding change of pace, though those seeking big game will need to look elsewhere or combine their trip with neighbouring countries.
