Depending on the time of year you have booked, bring lighter weight clothing for the summer season and for the colder months we suggest warmer, layered clothing that can be removed. For duck hunting and fishing, we recommend breathable waders, breathable shirts, and fast drying pants. A jacket is recommended for early morning expeditions, fishing from the boats, and during the colder months. Headwear is also recommended to protect you from the sun and other weather conditions. Sunglasses are essential and we recommend polarized lenses. Sunblock/lotion is also essential. A shoulder pad to protect from recoil is recommended for hunting. The lodge is very casual and you will just need comfortable clothes to wear after your daily hunting or fishing expeditions. Though we have some waders available at Parana Sunrise, we highly encourage you to bring your personal waders for proper fit and comfort. If you intend to fly fish, you will need to bring your personal fly gear. This equipment is usually easy to transport. We recommend a #6, #7, or #8 fast action rod with 30lb test line with a steel leader of 6-7ft in length with a tippet of OX. Both floating and sinking line is recommended.

At Parana Sunrise Lodge, we can accommodate up to sixteen (16) guests in a total of six single rooms and five double rooms. If your group is larger than sixteen (16) people, we can arrange additional bedding or accommodations in a nearby lodge and continue to provide your group our services. We can also accommodate solo hunters/anglers by combining them with a group.

Unfortunately, Argentina currently does not allow the export of small game, i.e. ducks, perdiz, doves.
