Hacienda El Dorado
Mexico's Premier Quail, Dove and Mixed Bag Hunting Lodge

Hacienda el Dorado is located in the heart of Tamaulipas’ bobwhite quail country, a true sportsman’s paradise. The area has long been known for its wingshooting, and the present is as good as it has ever been! We have ranches and fields that haven’t seen a quail hunter in 20 years, the beauty of the area is still largely untouched.
We offer wild Quail over well trained bird dogs, Ducks in fresh water ponds and lakes, and doves in the surrounding agricultural fields.
The lodge, situated on Rancho el Tinieblo, a 9,000 acre Agave plantation and artisanal mezcal distillery, adds a certain ambiance to your stay. You will be amazed at the wildlife and exotics that frequently pass by the Hacienda, while you relax in the pool or lounge in one of the many hammocks. Mezcal and the culture of Northeast Mexico are on full display.
We pride ourselves on providing world-class wingshooting, accommodations, and personal service. An owner of Hacienda el Dorado will be guiding your hunt, hosting you at the lodge, and in attendance at all times. We not only own the operation, we live it, and we love it.
Hacienda el Dorado invites you to come experience some of the best quail hunting and wingshooting the world has to offer.
