The Portela Series - Rio Negro, Uruguay |

Wing-shooting's New Frontier in Rocha, Uruguay |
Hidden in southeastern South America, Uruguay is a country small in size and population, but huge in sporting opportunity. The small friendly country is overshadowed by Brazilian wetlands to its north and Argentina's Cordoba to its west. The areas that make up Uruguay and Argentina's famous wing shooting provinces are split by the Uruguay River and its tributaries. The main tributary, the Rio Negro is the home of the Portela brother's Black River Outfitter, our Estancia San Cirilo, and the life line for South America's famed wing shooting. These estuaries, tributaries, and rivers create a delta in western Uruguay that has forever been providing the continent's southern provinces with the greatest hunting destinations in South America.
The expanses of estuaries, marshes, and agriculture surrounding Black River's Estancia San Cirilo provides opportunities to hunt destinations rivaled only by the Argentina of the 1970's. With the growth and expansion of outfitters across the eastern provinces of Argentina, Uruguay's Black River Outfitter has become the new frontier for traditional sportsmen and woman seeking secluded, unpressured destinations.
