Discover the Best Peru Duck Hunting Experience for Cinnamon Teal Enthusiasts
Peru is not only famous for its breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural history but also for offering one of the most unique wingshooting experiences in the world. Just three hours from Lima, this coastal Peru duck hunt is your opportunity to pursue the highest concentrations of cinnamon teal found anywhere in the world. Picture yourself in the narrow alluvial plains wedged between the Pacific Ocean and the vast Atacama Desert, where ducks feed in brackish waters at dawn before returning in droves to quench their thirst. If you’re a wingshooter seeking an unparalleled adventure, this destination should be at the top of your list.
The Wingshooting Adventure of a Lifetime
Start your journey in Lima, a city known for its colonial architecture, exquisite cuisine, and vibrant culture. After a brief journey to the coastal wetlands, kick off your adventure with a warm-up session targeting abundant white-winged and mourning doves. Then, shift your focus to the star of this expedition: the cinnamon teal. Peru’s coastal wetlands provide a high-volume wingshooting experience where generous morning bag limits allow you to take your time, enjoy the scenery, and revel in the swarming flocks of these prized waterfowl.
In addition to cinnamon teal, white-cheeked pintails are frequently encountered, adding to the variety of your hunt. The day’s shooting often concludes in just a couple of hours, leaving you ample time to soak in the surroundings and appreciate the coastal beauty. After a rewarding day in the field, retreat to a local resort hotel where comfort and convenience are paramount.
Tailored Hunting for Every Shooter
This package is ideal for small groups of 2 to 3 hunters, but parties of up to 4 are welcome. Whether you’re a seasoned collector adding to your species list or a passionate duck hunter seeking an adventure, the experience can be tailored to focus on ducks, doves, or a combination of both. With careful planning, your days can be arranged to maximize your chances of encountering all target species in a single trip.
To extend the adventure, consider adding a few extra days to pursue the unique waterfowl species of the Peruvian highlands. Species like Crested Duck, Puna Teal, Andean Goose, and Giant Coot can be hunted using a spot-and-stalk method in remote mountain regions. Each species presents its own challenge and beauty, making this add-on a must for those looking to experience a truly diverse waterfowl hunt.
Experience the Culture and History of Peru
The hunt is just one element of what makes this trip unforgettable. As you journey through coastal Peru, you’ll encounter remnants of pre-Incan civilizations, giving you a glimpse into the region’s rich history. Off the field, indulge in Peru’s renowned culinary scene with fresh-caught seafood and regional specialties. Whether it’s a traditional shrimp chowder (chupe) or the world-famous ceviche, your taste buds are in for as much of an adventure as your shotgun.
No Need for Waders—Just Bring Your Passion
One of the perks of hunting Peru’s coastal plains is the relatively mild weather. Forget cumbersome chest waders; lightweight hip boots will suffice for the terrain. Expect to walk through knee-high cover, moving from clump to clump, as you follow guides to your well-camouflaged blinds. With decoys set and the birds flying in, all you need to do is settle in and enjoy the action.
