Waterfowl Hunting in Peru - Goose Hunting and Duck Hunting
Goose hunting in Peru is open and available. Los Gauchos began the goose hunting phenmenom in Argentina about 8 years ago. It was fabulous and we provided waterfowl hunters a great time shooting geese in South Argentina. Unfotunately, mother nature and hunting regulations were changed, and the goose hunting has been taken off the Argentina bird hunting trips.
Now for the GOOD NEWS - Peru has geese and it is legal and high quality goose hunting that water fowlers desire. Goose hunting is combined with the other Peru bird hunting options such as duck hunting, dove hunting, and quali hunting, depending on the time of year you travel to Peru.

Goose Hunting in Peru
One of the main reasons to travel to Peru for waterfowl is the opportunity to collect the trophy Andean geese & several duck species that are exclusive to Peru.

Hunting takes place high in the Andes Mountains. The altitude is above 15,000 feet so the view is spectacular and the waterfowl is amazing. Flocks of the Andean geese are found in grassy valleys and small lakes spread throughout the Andes Mountains.
The waterfowl hunter will see a wide variety of birds as well as the historic Incas that still live in villages throughout the Andes Mountain area.
It is common to see Inca herdsman, with their colorful native attire, herding flocks of Alpaca sheep, a famous commodity in Peru. Hunting Geese in Peru is definintely a prime waterfowl hunting experience.
Unlike the Argentina goose hunting, goose hunting in Peru is not a hot-barreled, high volume affair. You will shoot a good supply of Andean Geese, but this is a trophy hunt for the waterfowl hunter.

About the Andean Goose
The Andean Goose, Chloephaga melanoptera, is a member of the duck, goose and swan family Anatidae.
The Andean Geese can be found around lakes and marshes in high altitudes of the Andes Mountains, usually about 15,000 feet. The geese in Peru are largely terrestrial and avoid swimming except in extreme circumstances.
The Andean Geese are large birds with a tiny pink bill and white plumage except for black in the wings and tail. The female is similar to the male, but smaller in size.
