Question 1

what are the clothing recs for winter june-august

Accepted Answer

For winter hunting in Argentina, especially during June to August, the weather can be quite variable, ranging from crisp mornings to mild afternoons. Layering is key to staying comfortable. Here are our recommendations:

*   **Base Layers:** Moisture-wicking base layers (tops and bottoms) are essential to keep you warm and dry.
*   **Mid-Layers:** Fleece jackets, wool sweaters, or insulated vests are great for adding warmth.
*   **Outerwear:** A good quality, waterproof and windproof hunting jacket is crucial. It should be warm enough for early mornings but also breathable.
*   **Pants:** Durable, waterproof, and comfortable hunting pants are recommended.
*   **Headwear:** A warm hat or beanie is a must for cold mornings and evenings. A baseball cap or wide-brimmed hat can be useful for sun protection during the day.
*   **Gloves:** Insulated, waterproof gloves are important for keeping your hands warm and protected.
*   **Footwear:** Waterproof, comfortable hunting boots with good ankle support are essential. Make sure they are well broken-in before your trip.
*   **Socks:** Wool or synthetic blend socks will provide warmth and help prevent blisters.
*   **Accessories:** Sunglasses, sunscreen, and insect repellent are also good to have on hand.

Question 2

what's the standard tipping etiquette for the guides and lodge staff

Accepted Answer

Tipping is a customary way to show appreciation for the exceptional service provided by our guides and lodge staff at AWS Lodge. While it's always at your discretion, here's a general guideline:

*   **Hunting Guides & Bird Boys:** We recommend $100 per hunter, per hunting day, to be split between your guide and dedicated bird boy.
*   **Lodge Staff:** For the entire lodge staff (chefs, housekeepers, bartenders, etc.), a collective tip of $100-$150 per hunter, per day of your stay, is greatly appreciated and can be given to the lodge manager at the end of your trip to be distributed among the team.

Our team works hard to ensure every aspect of your experience, from the field to the lodge, is seamless and luxurious.

Question 5

boot recommendations for perdiz hunting for a corporate group in september what are guys usually wearing

Accepted Answer

For perdiz hunting, especially in September with a corporate group, comfortable, waterproof, and ankle-supportive boots are highly recommended. You'll be doing a fair amount of walking through varied terrain, which can include fields that are damp from morning dew or recent rain. Many guests opt for lightweight, waterproof hiking boots or specialized upland hunting boots that are already broken in to ensure maximum comfort throughout the day. Brands like L.L.Bean, Orvis, or Irish Setter are popular choices, but any comfortable, reliable waterproof boot will serve you well.

Our professional guides ensure a seamless experience, taking you to the prime hunting spots. Perdiz hunting is typically an add-on to our multi-day packages. 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.

Question 9

do i need a visa for argentina or is there an entry fee for may trip

Accepted Answer

For most nationalities, including citizens of the United States, Canada, the UK, and countries within the European Union, a visa is generally not required for tourist visits to Argentina lasting up to 90 days. You would typically only need a valid passport with at least six months of validity remaining beyond your intended stay.

Regarding entry fees, Argentina previously had a reciprocity fee for certain nationalities, but this has been suspended for most travelers, including US citizens. However, it's always best to verify the most current requirements directly with your country's embassy or a consulate of Argentina, as regulations can change.
