the water wealth and this great delta of streams, lagoons
and marshes, turn this area into a particularly attractive
habitat for the variety of aquatic animal species.
For the duck hunting, that takes part in the morning
hunters are placed individually or in pairs in different
areas previously selected by the head guide. Every hunter
is accompanied by a guide and a birdboy, to the hunting
place in 4x4 light trucks.
Hunters may be shooting by a lagoonside from blinds
located in the water. Every spot will have decoys set
up and every hunter will be assisted by a bird-boy whose
job is to make sure the hunter’s needs are catered for.
Bird-boys will use typical calls.
