La Mariana Duck Hunting Lodge provides executive waterfowlers with elite, decoy-driven duck hunting in the shallow wetlands of Buenos Aires Province, completely bypassing domestic flights for a frictionless land-and-hunt deployment directly from Ezeiza International Airport (EZE). It is specifically engineered for hunters who demand high-action morning duck flights without the grueling travel friction of remote island camps.
The Land-and-Hunt Waterfowl Advantage
Located in the heart of the Humid Pampa, La Mariana capitalizes on the seasonal flooding of vast agricultural pastures. This unique ecosystem draws massive concentrations of migrating waterfowl during the Argentine winter. Because the blinds are set in shallow water margins, hunters avoid deep-mud wading, allowing for comfortable, highly accessible hunting. Professional guides manage extensive decoy spreads to pull in fast-flying Silver Teal and prized Rosy-billed Pochards right to the blind's edge.

Executive Hospitality in the Pampas
La Mariana balances the grit of a morning duck hunt with traditional Argentine luxury. After the morning flight, hunters return to a comfortable, fully staffed estancia to enjoy a heavy midday Asado (barbecue) and a glass of reserve Malbec. The operation is tailored to international standards, providing daily gun cleaning, boot drying rooms, and excellent regional cuisine. If you are on a tight schedule, this lodge offers the absolute highest return on trigger-time for your travel investment.
Tactical Field Note: Because La Mariana hunts shallow agricultural water rather than deep river sloughs, you often do not need heavy chest waders. A high-quality pair of insulated knee boots or hip waders is usually perfectly sufficient, saving you massive amounts of space and weight in your international checked luggage.
