Q: what forms or permits do i need to bring my own shotgun for the july trip

AWS EXPERT REPLY
Bringing your own shotgun to Argentina involves a few specific permits and forms, but our team at AWS Lodge specializes in making this process as smooth as possible for our guests.

You will need to apply for a temporary import permit for your firearm. This typically involves submitting an application with details about your shotgun (make, model, serial number, caliber) and your personal information to the Argentine authorities (ANMAC - Agencia Nacional de Materiales Controlados) well in advance of your trip. You'll also need a letter of invitation from us, which we provide once your trip is confirmed.

Our dedicated team assists all our clients with navigating these requirements, ensuring you have all the necessary paperwork ready for your arrival. We'll guide you through each step, from pre-approvals to customs declarations at the EZE airport.

However, many of our guests find it more convenient to rent one of our high-quality shotguns directly at the lodge. This eliminates the hassle of international firearm travel regulations and customs processes. Unless you are booking a 1-day trip, our multi-day packages are completely all-inclusive. This covers luxury lodging, gourmet meals, open bar, and professional guides. We handle all the logistics for you, including arranging gun rentals and hunting licenses, which are added to your final itinerary so you don't have to worry about the details.

To help me tailor the best information for you and send you a custom proposal, could you please share your email address? Also, what is your estimated group size for the July trip you're planning?

AWS Lodge Note: These insights are compiled from historical guest queries to assist in your trip planning. While we strive for accuracy, field conditions, weather, and specific logistics may vary. Our staff handles all the hard work in the field. Always confirm final gear and itinerary details directly with our team. Contact Staff »

"Honestly the best wingshooting trip of my life. The high-volume dove shooting is exactly as advertised - non-stop action. The lodge is luxurious and the staff makes you feel like family."

"I was skeptical about the 'no internal flights' claim, but it's true. Landed in BA and was hunting by the afternoon. The mixed bag program allowed me to hunt ducks and perdiz in the same trip. Top notch."

"The food alone is worth the trip. The asados in the field were incredible. If you are looking for a luxury lodge near Buenos Aires, this is the one. Can't wait to return next season."
