With its diverse ecosystems and a range of outdoor activities, Chubut stands out as a remarkable destination in the Argentinian Patagonia for hunters and nature enthusiasts alike. Chubut’s geography is diverse, ranging from the Andean mountains in the west to the central plateaus and the coastal plains in the east.

Moving eastward, the terrain becomes flatter and drier, transitioning into the Patagonian steppe, which is characterized by vast open spaces and sparse vegetation. The coastal area includes beautiful beaches, cliffs, and the Valdes Peninsula, known for its marine wildlife. The Andean region has dense forests of conifers and southern beech. Wildlife includes native species like guanacos, rheas, and foxes. Chubut is regarded as an excellent destination for big game hunting, particularly for red deer, as well as axis deer and wild boar. It also offers good waterfowl hunting along its river valleys and in coastal areas. The hunting experience in Chubut is often characterized by its rugged and scenic terrain, providing a unique and challenging environment. International travelers typically fly into Buenos Aires, Argentina’s capital. From there, connecting flights to cities like Trelew or Comodoro Rivadavia in Chubut are available.
