Mombacho Lodge

After a hearty pre-dawn breakfast we’ll hit the highway to areas mainly in the Masaya-Tipitapa-Lake Nicaragua region for a morning White-wing hunt of 8-10 boxes of shells or more. It’s back to the lodge for lunch, a quick nap and then another 8-10 box hunt in the afternoon.

Fields range from 30-45 minutes from the lodge and most are corn, sorghum and peanuts. Excellent hors d’oeuvres and Rumritas greet the hunters after every hunt and evening meals are excellent with many a Nicaragua cigar handy nearby.

Mombacho, considered by many as the best white wing dove lodge in the world, comprises 11 single rooms, all with A/C, private baths. The lodge features an open-air dining room, recreational room, swimming pool, thatched-roofed gazebo and some of the finest dove appetizers you’ve ever tasted!

There is small swimming pool and a courtyard gazebo that separate the two wings. The lodge also features a full bar and open-air restaurant located upstairs that offers a wonderful view of the volcano surrounding countryside and allows for the soothing breezes from the Pacific Ocean and Lake Nicaragua.

The cuisine at Mombocho is well balanced with choices of excellent local meats, seafood, pasta and game. They are most famous for their wonderful dove “bocas” and Rumritas. Mombacho is perfectly located with easy access to Managua, the hunting fields, and Granada.
