To ensure a smooth adventure, please review the following detailed information regarding your arrival, documentation, equipment, and what to expect in Argentina.
The most common way to reach Argentina is on an overnight flight from the United States or Europe, landing in Buenos Aires the following morning. Hunters must buy tickets with final destination Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE), located in Ezeiza, a few kilometers from Buenos Aires city.
Many airlines service daily direct flights: United, Delta, American Airlines, and Continental.
AWS receives all visitors at the airport and offers qualified bilingual assistance to help with gun clearance and arrival procedures.
Ground Transportation: Since our destinations are close to Buenos Aires (usually under 3 hours), we provide transport in modern executive vans, high-quality cars, or 4x4 SUVs through safe, four-lane highways.
If needed, domestic flights depart from Jorge Newbery Airport (AEP), located 40 minutes from the International Airport. Charter flights directly to the field can also be arranged for an additional cost depending on the party size and airstrip availability.
- Passport: Must be up to date. We highly recommend checking the expiration date to ensure it remains valid throughout your stay.
- Visas:
- U.S. & Western Europe Citizens: Do NOT need a visa for visits up to 90 days.
- Other regions: Citizens from Asian, Eastern European, or African countries (except South Africa) should check with the Argentine consulate. - Baggage: The legal weight limit is generally 20 kg (44 lbs) per person. However, airlines flying from North America are usually tolerant of moderate excess.
Hunters must have all export documentation from their home country. Guns should travel in rigid, lockable cases.
You must provide us with your personal and gun details in advance. An AWS member will be waiting at the airport with the paperwork ("Weapon National Register" authorization) ready. You will pay a gun introduction fee at customs (fixed by the Government).
