Question 2

what are the private charter flight options to the lodge and approx cost for a group of 4

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your interest! While AWS Lodge is conveniently located just two hours from Buenos Aires (EZE) by ground, making private charter flights generally unnecessary for direct transfers to the lodge, we primarily arrange comfortable round-trip ground transfers for our guests. This allows you to land at EZE and be hunting the very same afternoon without needing any domestic flights.

For a group of 4, our 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. However, please note that this is subject to market variations, and our human team will confirm the exact transportation cost for your specific dates.

If you are specifically interested in exploring private flight options beyond our standard ground transfers, our human team can certainly discuss potential arrangements or recommendations with you.

Question 3

whats the typical gourmet meal like compared to the asado, and how do you handle specific dietary needs for both

Accepted Answer

Our culinary experience at AWS Lodge is designed to be a highlight of your trip, blending traditional Argentine flavors with gourmet international cuisine.

Compared to a traditional **Asado**, which is a rustic and authentic Argentine barbecue featuring various premium cuts of meat slow-cooked over an open flame, our **Gourmet Meals** offer a more refined and diverse dining experience. Each evening, our executive chef prepares exquisite multi-course dinners using the freshest local ingredients. You can expect sophisticated dishes that might include tenderloin, local fish, homemade pastas, fresh salads, and delectable desserts, often paired with fine Argentine wines from our open bar. The asado, on the other hand, is a unique cultural event, typically enjoyed outdoors or in our dedicated quincho, focusing on the rich flavors and communal spirit of Argentine grilling.

For **specific dietary needs**, we are fully equipped and committed to accommodating them. Whether you have allergies, intolerances, or specific preferences (vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.), we kindly ask that you communicate these to our team in advance of your arrival. Our chef will meticulously plan your meals to ensure they are both delicious and safe for you throughout your stay, for both gourmet dinners and asado experiences.
