Question 3

whats the recommended tipping guideline for the bird boys and the general lodge crew per day for our december trip

Accepted Answer

Thank you for asking about the recommended tipping guidelines for your December trip! It's customary for our guests to tip our dedicated bird boys and the general lodge crew for their exceptional service, which greatly enhances your hunting experience.

As a general recommendation, guests typically consider around **$30-$50 per hunter per day for the bird boy** who assists you directly in the field. For the entire **lodge staff** (including chefs, housekeepers, and other support staff), a collective **$20-$30 per hunter per day** is often suggested. These are, of course, guidelines and should always reflect the quality of service you receive during your stay.

AWS Lodge specializes in providing an all-inclusive luxury experience, so while tips are handled separately, everything else from your gourmet meals, open bar, and professional guides to field logistics is completely covered in your package. This ensures a seamless and worry-free experience for you.

Question 4

whats the best way to get from eze to aep for our domestic flight and how long does it usually take

Accepted Answer

The best way to get from Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) to Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP) for a domestic flight is typically by a pre-booked car service (remise) or a taxi. You can also use a shuttle bus service like Tienda León, which is generally more economical.

The travel time between EZE and AEP can vary significantly depending on traffic, but you should generally allow at least 1.5 to 2 hours for the transfer itself, plus buffer time for potential delays, especially during peak hours.

However, if you are planning a wingshooting trip with AWS Lodge, you won't need to worry about a domestic flight or the EZE to AEP transfer at all! Our luxury lodge is conveniently located just two hours from Ezeiza International Airport (EZE). This means you can land at EZE and transfer directly to the lodge, and often be hunting doves the very same afternoon you arrive, eliminating the need for any additional domestic flights within Argentina.

Hello! Thank you for your interest in AWS Lodge.

Question 10

what are the best boot recommendations for perdiz hunting, like for walking comfort

Accepted Answer

For perdiz hunting, where you'll be doing a lot of walking across varied terrain, choosing the right boots for comfort is absolutely crucial. You'll want something that offers a balance of support, cushioning, and durability. Here are some key recommendations:

1.  **Waterproofing:** Look for boots with a waterproof and breathable membrane (like Gore-Tex or similar technologies). Perdiz hunting often involves walking through dew-covered fields or damp areas, and keeping your feet dry is paramount for comfort and preventing blisters.
2.  **Ankle Support:** Mid to high-cut boots provide essential ankle support, which is vital for stability on uneven ground and preventing twists or sprains during long walks.
3.  **Lightweight Construction:** Since you'll be covering significant distances, a lighter boot will reduce fatigue over the course of a day.
4.  **Cushioning and Arch Support:** A well-cushioned midsole and good arch support are key for absorbing impact and providing comfort during prolonged periods of walking. Consider boots with an EVA foam or PU midsole.
5.  **Traction:** A durable outsole with an aggressive lug pattern will provide excellent grip on grass, dirt, and potentially muddy conditions.
6.  **Breathability:** While waterproof, ensure the boots also allow moisture to escape to prevent your feet from getting sweaty and uncomfortable.

It's always recommended to try on boots with the type of socks you'd wear while hunting and walk around in them for a while to ensure a proper fit and comfort. Don't forget to break them in before your trip!

Speaking of perdiz hunting, AWS Lodge offers an exceptional Mixed Bag program that often includes perdiz hunting in our private fields, providing a fantastic experience with our professional guides and top-tier logistics.
