When Black River Outfitters was founded in 2004, brothers Juan Pablo and Jose Ignacio (Nacho) Portela had their dreams realized. Now thirty four years old, the Portela twins were born in Montevideo, Uruguay but moved to the Rio Negro countryside when they were only four years old. The two grew up hunting, fishing and playing polo in Young, UY, a small farming village, and came to know the area and their quarry well.
