Laguna Vista is
located on the East coast of Mexico at the convergence of three great North American
Flyways. Surrounding grain fields, bay system and freshwater ponds draw waterfowl,
whitewing dove and quail by the thousands.
Enthusiasts around the world agree
that the Laguna Madre of eastern Mexico has some of the best waterfowling anywhere.
Ideally situated on this incredible
bay system, Laguna Vista offers you the best of the best. Duck and Goose blinds are only
twenty minutes from the lodge and easily reached by van. The more remote areas of shooting
or fishing can be reached by Laguna Vista's fleet of well-maintained vehicles and boats
including; four-wheelers and marsh buggies, tunnel-drive boats, airboats, fishing boats
and a luxury 24 ft. pontoon boat.
The thousands of acres of grain and
sunflower fields surrounding Laguna Vista offer superb whitewing dove and quail shooting
within minutes of the lodge.
Our guides are American and highly
professional. They have all guided with us for years and are thouroughly familiar with the
countryside. In addition, they are shooting instructors and trained in CPR and First Aid.
Most of our facilities are handicapped accessible and
all our guides are in constant two-way radio contact with the lodge. The safety of our
guests is top priority.
If you feel like "wetting a
line", limits of snook, redfish and speckled trout are routinely taken near the
lodge. Fresh water black bass are caught directly in front of the lodge in Lake La Nacha.
Laguna Vista Lodge can accommodate 36 guests in
spacious air conditioned rooms with double beds and private baths. The pool and patio
overlook Lake La Nacha, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine and watching sunsets. Lush
flowering tropical plants and pepper bushes adorn the grounds and tile walkways around the
lodge.
The great room, which contains the
dinning area and bar is warmed by a massive stone fireplace. The patio overlooks Lake La
Nacha and serves as a trap shooting practice range. A state-of-the-art purification system
insures an abundant supply of sparkling pure drinking water.
Laguna Vista is an 8,000 acre working ranch, with an
additional adjacent 37,000 acres leased for hunting, fishing, birding, horseback riding,
hiking, eco tours or just boat riding on the ranch's 14 mile long Lake La Nacha. It is 16
miles east of San Fernando, Mexico or 100 air miles south of Brownsville, Texas.
There is a 5000 foot gravel landing
strip on the ranch where fly-in guests can taxi right to the the Lodge. Guests flying in
on commercial airlines will arrive at McAllen, Texas where they will be met and taken by
van or air taxi directly to the ranch. Air taxi arrivals are greeted with Margaritas by
the friendly staff. The ranch is an easy 2 hour drive from Browsville, Texas for the
adventurous do-it-yourself tourist.
It's massive size provides guests with an incredible
sense of privacy. This region of Mexico is a major grain production area and the thousands
of acres of grain fields, saltwater marshes and native scrub brush provide an abundant
supply of food and cover for the more than 300 varieties of birds that live on the ranch.
The grandeur and vastness of this yet
unspoiled part of Mexico will leave you with a great respect for this country and it's
people along with incomparable memories to enjoy for a lifetime.
There is no glamourous facade here
like found at many of the well known, overcowded tourist destinations. This is the REAL
Mexico.
Come see us at Laguna Vista. It will
be one of your most memorable shooting adventures.
