Q: when we land with our shotguns what exactly is the airport gun clearing process like

AWS EXPERT REPLY
Welcome to AWS Lodge! We understand that bringing your own firearms can be a concern, but rest assured, our team is highly experienced in streamlining the airport gun clearing process at Ezeiza (EZE) Airport, ensuring a smooth start to your hunting adventure.

Here's how it generally works:
Upon your arrival at EZE, after you've cleared immigration and customs, you'll be met by an AWS Lodge representative who will be expecting you. They will guide you to the specific area for firearm registration. This process involves completing necessary paperwork with the ANMAC (Agencia Nacional de Materiales Controlados), the Argentine regulatory body for firearms. Our team will be with you every step of the way, assisting with all the forms and interacting with the authorities on your behalf to ensure a smooth and efficient process. While the exact duration can vary, we aim to make it as quick and hassle-free as possible, typically taking between one to two hours, depending on the volume of arrivals.

Please note that many of our guests also opt for our high-quality gun rentals, which eliminates the need to travel with your own firearms and simplifies arrival even further. Regardless of whether you bring your own or rent ours, we handle all the necessary permits and licenses as part of our comprehensive, all-inclusive multi-day packages. This means we manage all the logistics for you, including arranging gun rentals and hunting licenses, 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 time of year are you considering for your trip?

"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."
