Hunting & Fishing
Forget dove hunting in Cordoba when a Cast & Blast at Parana Sunrise offers equal shooting plus outstanding Golden Dorado fishing all under one roof. Guests have total flexibility to choose their Dorado and Dove Cast & Blast schedule. North and south of Parana Sunrise Lodge lie miles of corn, rice, milo and sunflowers fields plagued by millions of dove. Within a 15-45 minute drive, hunters can experience a true high volume Argentina dove hunt. On a full day dove shoot, a barbecue lunch and siesta is an integral part of the Argentine dove hunting experience. On afternoon shoots, the morning is spent Golden Dorado fishing the edge of a vast labyrinth of marshlands only a few kilometers west of the Parana River’s main channel. A full day Dorado fishing allows anglers to venture deep into a remote network of rivers, creeks and lagoons where fly and spin fishermen will find prolific fishing for Golden Dorado that average 7-8 pounds.
Options
Dove and Dorado Combo
While most Argentina Dove and Dorado combination trips require extensive travel between the fishing and shooting or have one activity that is inferior to the other, Parana Sunrise Lodge offers fast access to world-class dove hunting and Golden Dorado fishing. Guests have the flexibility shoot or fish as much as they like, evening doing both in one day. We highly recommend no shorter than 7 nights/6 days as this will give you time to settle in, improve your shooting and fishing techniques and offer buffer days against rain. This is the best of two Argentine classics, high volume dove shooting and outstanding Golden Dorado fishing, done conveniently from one beautiful lodge.
