How do I get to Argentina?
Clients fly to Buenos Aires from one of the North American gateways
(MIA,
ATL, JFK, IAD, DFW, IAH) on an overnight flight. Most flights leave the
USA
between 8:00 and 11:00 PM, and arrive in Buenos Aires (EZE) in the early
AM
between 6:30AM and 10:00AM.
Upon arrival in Buenos Aires, clients are met by our representatives,
and
either transfer by air or ground to their particular hunting lodges in
Argentina. Many hunters choose to spend one night in Buenos Aires before
beginning their South American hunting trip.
What documents will I need to have in my possession for a hunting trip
to Argentina ?
If you are a U.S. Citizen, you do not need to apply for a visa and you
only
need to bring a valid passport. The passport must not expire within six
months of your arrival date. If you are not an American citizen, please
check with the appropriate consulate in your country to find out if you
will
need a visa.
No inoculations are required for hunting trips to Argentina
If I decide to book a trip, what do I have to do next to reserve my
dates?
We require a non-refundable deposit in the amount of 50 % of the price
of
the quoted trip as a reservation when pick dates.
Deposits may be transferred to another hunter, but may not be applied to
a
future season, or year.
Who will pick us up at the airport to begin our South American
wingshooting trip?
You will be met by a Sierra Outfitters staff member immediately upon
exiting
customs in Argentina if you are not bringing a gun. If you are bringing
a
gun, our rep will meet you in the airport police sub-station loctated in
baggage claim. She will have a large sign bearing the name of the name
of
the group leader on it. Additionally, your final travel itinerary will
list
our representative's name and cell phone number, in the even of an
emergency.
Do we have to use
plugs in our shotguns?
No, plugs are never required while hunting in Argentina or Uruguay. We
suggest you leave them at home. Just don t forget to put them back in
before
hunting in the USA again!
How do we
pay for shotgun shells and other fees?
You may pay with cash (USD accepted) or checks. Please note a 3% fee is
added to checks and 4% to traveler's checks. These are fees to process a
US
bank document in South America.
How many hunters can you accommodate, and how far is the drive from the
estancia (lodge) to the hunting fields in Argentina and Uruguay?
We limit our occupancy to 10 guests per week in our lodges
(single-occupancy, or double occupancy options) waterfowl and upland
hunting
lodges.
Typically, the drives to the hunting in Argentina are less than 40
minutes,
but sometimes they can be up to an hour. We use comfortable SUV s, quad-cab
trucks, or vans to transport hunters.
