How Close Is Dove Hunting to Buenos Aires?
AWS Lodge is located in Ceibas, Entre Ríos, and is generally reached in around two hours by road from centrally located Buenos Aires hotels under normal conditions. A domestic flight is not normally required.

Why Direct Road Access Matters
A standard transfer from Buenos Aires to AWS Lodge does not normally require a transfer from the city to a domestic airport, domestic airport check-in, security and boarding time, a domestic flight, baggage recovery, or another long road transfer after landing.
The practical advantage is not only the driving distance. It is the elimination of an additional airport, domestic flight, baggage process, and post-flight road transfer.
This provides a significant benefit for short stays, business travelers, visitors with limited vacation time, families, guests adding hunting to another Argentina itinerary, and travelers who prefer predictable ground logistics.

Half-Day Dove Hunting from Buenos Aires
Travelers already staying in Buenos Aires can often add one afternoon of Dove hunting without changing hotels, taking a domestic flight, or committing to a multi-day hunting itinerary. This experience is designed for people who are already visiting Buenos Aires for business, tourism, conventions, meetings, family travel, a short stop, or a broader Argentina itinerary when logistics and schedule permit.
A "Half-Day" refers to one afternoon shooting session, not the total door-to-door duration including transportation and lunch.
Typical Half-Day Structure (Sample)
- Pickup from a selected central Buenos Aires hotel at approximately 10:00–10:30.
- Direct road transfer toward AWS Lodge and the selected field.
- Lunch according to the confirmed program.
- Afternoon Dove shooting session.
- Return transfer to Buenos Aires after the hunt.
- Typical city return may be around the early evening, often approximately 18:45, depending on traffic, season, field location, daylight, and the confirmed itinerary.
Sample times are planning references only and are confirmed for each reservation.

High-Volume Dove Hunting Without a Domestic Flight
AWS Lodge operates multiple Dove fields. Field selection is based on current scouting. Dove hunting is available year-round, though September through March is generally the preferred period for pure high-volume Dove programs.
Shooting volume varies according to bird movement, field conditions, weather, hunter pace, accuracy, and safety. A Half-Day experience can provide meaningful shooting opportunities, but no fixed number of shots or harvested Doves is guaranteed. Multi-day programs provide more flexibility for field selection and changing conditions.
In addition to year-round Dove programs, AWS Lodge offers seasonal Duck and Perdiz hunting during the applicable May-to-August period, subject to current provincial regulations, dates, field conditions, and the confirmed itinerary.

Fields are generally approximately 5 to 45 minutes from the lodge.
