Question 1

how cold does it get early mornings in june for the shoot

Accepted Answer

Early mornings in June in Argentina, particularly in our region near Buenos Aires, can be quite cool, as it's the beginning of winter here. You can generally expect temperatures to range from around 35°F to 45°F (2°C to 7°C) at dawn, sometimes even dipping a bit lower on particularly crisp days.

We ensure our guests are comfortable, providing warm beverages before the shoot and comfortable vehicles for transport to the blinds. We always recommend layering your clothing, including a warm jacket, gloves, and a hat, to stay comfortable in the field. As the sun rises, temperatures typically warm up nicely, making for very pleasant shooting conditions throughout the day.

Question 2

ok so for the gun clearing process at the airport what's the typical wait time we should expect after landing

Accepted Answer

The gun clearing process at the airport can vary, but typically, after you land, it might add an extra hour or two to your exit time, depending on customs and the number of concurrent arrivals. Our team at AWS Lodge works closely with you to ensure a smooth process, providing all necessary documentation in advance.

However, 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 of airport clearing. Many of our guests find this a more convenient and seamless option.

Many guests enjoy a brief siesta to recharge for the afternoon.
*   **Afternoon Hunt (2:00 PM - 5:30 PM):** Re-energized, you'll head back to the blinds for another action-packed shooting session. The afternoon often brings different flight patterns and opportunities.

Question 6

for feb trip, what's the typical transfer time from cordoba airport to the lodge vs from buenos aires, trying to figure out which arrival city is less travel time overall for the lodge

Accepted Answer

That's a great question for planning your trip to AWS Lodge!

Our lodge is conveniently located just **2 hours from Buenos Aires (EZE) international airport**. This means you **do not need any domestic flights**, and many of our guests are able to land, transfer to the lodge, and enjoy their first hunt on the very same afternoon they arrive.

Traveling from Cordoba would involve a much longer transfer time, likely requiring an additional domestic flight or a significantly extended drive, making Buenos Aires (EZE) the clear choice for convenience and efficiency to reach our lodge.

Regarding transfers from EZE, round-trip airport transfers directly to the lodge are typically estimated around quoted directly by our human team based on current market rates, but this is subject to market variations. Our human team will confirm the exact transportation cost for your specific dates.
