Question 1

how long is the transfer from ezeiza to aep typically for domestic flights

Accepted Answer

The transfer time from Ezeiza (EZE) to Aeroparque (AEP) for domestic flights in Buenos Aires typically takes between 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on traffic conditions. Please note that this is a separate transfer not directly related to our lodge services.

However, for AWS Lodge, you won't need any domestic flights! We are conveniently located just 2 hours directly from Ezeiza (EZE) airport, meaning you can land and be hunting the very same afternoon you arrive, without the need for additional domestic travel.

Round-trip airport transfers from EZE 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.

Question 4

thinking about july trip, is there a price diff if i rent a 20-gauge vs a 12-gauge and what do most guys usually prefer for duck hunting

Accepted Answer

That's a great question! For duck hunting, many of our guests prefer a 12-gauge shotgun due to its versatility and stopping power, especially in varying conditions. However, a 20-gauge can also be very effective and is often favored for its lighter recoil and easier handling. It truly comes down to personal preference.

Regarding gun rentals, 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 standard fees added to your final itinerary so you don't have to worry about the details or a price difference between gauges for rental.

Since you're thinking about a trip in July, that's a fantastic time for mixed bag hunting, including ducks! While our online calendar might show some dates as fully booked around that time, we frequently have hidden inventory. If you share your email address with me right now, I will have our human team do a real-time manual check and send you exact pricing for your group!

Question 6

boot recs for perdiz hunting in feb what works best for the terrain and conditions

Accepted Answer

That's a great question! For perdiz hunting in February, you'll typically encounter varied terrain, including open fields and some areas with thicker vegetation, which can sometimes be damp. Comfortable, waterproof, and supportive boots are essential. Many experienced hunters prefer lightweight, breathable, and waterproof upland hunting boots that offer good ankle support and traction, as you'll be covering a fair amount of ground.

At AWS Lodge, we specialize in providing an unparalleled hunting experience. While personal gear like boots is typically brought by our guests, our professional guides are always on hand to offer advice on what to expect regarding field conditions closer to your trip. Our multi-day packages are completely all-inclusive, covering luxury lodging, gourmet meals, open bar, and professional guides, ensuring all the logistics are handled for you. The perdiz hunt is offered as an add-on to our dove hunting packages.

Question 7

how good is the wifi and cell service at the lodge can i stream netflix or do video calls

Accepted Answer

At AWS Lodge, we understand the importance of staying connected, even in the serene environment of the Argentine countryside. We offer robust satellite internet service throughout the lodge, including in all guest rooms and common areas. While it's generally reliable for browsing, emailing, and video calls, please keep in mind that it's satellite-based and located in a remote area, so performance can vary. Many of our guests successfully stream Netflix and conduct video calls, though it might not be as consistently fast as fiber optic internet in a major city.

Cell service can be spotty depending on your provider, but our WiFi is the primary and most reliable way to communicate.

Question 8

chokes for doves vs ducks, do we need diff ones or is one good for both

Accepted Answer

That's a great question regarding chokes for doves and ducks!

Generally, **you will likely want different chokes for doves versus ducks** to optimize your shooting performance for each bird.

*   **For high-volume dove hunting**, most hunters prefer more open chokes like **Improved Cylinder (IC)** or **Light Modified (LM)**. This allows for a wider shot pattern, which is very effective for the fast-moving, often close-range doves you'll encounter in Argentina.
*   **For duck hunting**, which often involves longer shots over water, a tighter choke like **Modified (M)** or even **Improved Modified (IM)** can be more advantageous to maintain a denser pattern at extended ranges.

Many shotguns come with interchangeable choke tubes, allowing you to easily switch between them. If you plan on doing a mixed bag hunt that includes both doves and ducks, bringing a variety of chokes or using a shotgun equipped with interchangeable chokes is highly recommended. Our professional guides can also advise you on the best setup for the specific hunting conditions.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

That's a great question regarding safety and comfort! While many of our guests prefer to bring their own eye and ear protection for personal fit and preference, we do have some available at the lodge should you need it. We always prioritize your safety in the field.
