Question 7

for flying into cordoba (cor) or buenos aires for september trip which one usually has the smoother overall transfer to the lodge

Accepted Answer

For a September trip to AWS Lodge, flying into **Buenos Aires (EZE)** will always provide a significantly smoother and more direct transfer to the lodge.

Our lodge is conveniently located just two hours from Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) in Buenos Aires, meaning you won't need any domestic connecting flights. Many of our guests appreciate that they can land in EZE and be hunting doves the very same afternoon!

Cordoba (COR) is in a different region of Argentina and would require an additional domestic flight or a very long ground transfer, which is not practical for reaching our lodge.

Question 9

do i need a visa to enter argentina for our january trip or is there just like a reciprocal fee

Accepted Answer

For your trip to Argentina, visa requirements depend on your nationality. For citizens of many countries, including the US, Canada, and most European nations, a tourist visa is generally not required for stays of up to 90 days. Reciprocal fees that were previously in place have largely been suspended for these nationalities. However, it's always best to check the latest requirements with the Argentine Consulate in your country or your airline before travel, as policies can change.

Since you're planning for a January trip, I recommend connecting directly with our human team for the most up-to-date availability and to confirm any specific requirements for your group. 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!
