HOW TO BOOK THE HUNT

We require you to sign a simple contract with all the details of your future hunt. We will send you this contract by regular email or fax, please read it carefully, sign it, and return a copy to our offices.

Also we require a deposit of 30% of total hunt cost. The money deposit can be done with a personal check or a money transfer to our bank. The details will be provided.

VISAS

The United States citizens, and most of the countries do not need a Visa to visit Argentina. Call the Argentine Embassy in your country for more information.

VACCINES

None are needed.

BOOKING YOUR FLIGHT

If your hunting destination is La Pampa , booking an international flight arriving to Buenos Aires International in the morning and leaving back to your country in the evening (after 9.30 pm ) is always the ideal plan. This is because the domestic flights to La Pampa leave BA at 1.00pm and come back to BA at 6.00pm , giving enough time to connect with your international flight. Domestic flights are ONLY Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays , and they leave from Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (BA's domestic airport), located 45 minutes drive from Ezeiza International Airport .

DOMESTIC FLIGHTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. PLEASE CHECK WITH US BEFORE BOOKING THE INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS.

GUN PERMITS

Argentina is friendly regarding the importation of firearms by hunters. There's no need to make any permits in your home country. You will be required to declare the guns upon arrival at Buenos Aires International Airport in Ezeiza. All rifles except the fully automatic are allowed as well as all shotguns and handguns. Up to 300 rounds of ammunition is also legal to import.

We can send you by email the required importation form, or you can download it directly from the Argentine Ministry of Defense at www.renar.gov.ar .

Once in Buenos Aires Airport , you will be directed to the " Policía Aeronáutica " office, before going through Customs. Your guns will then be inspected by the authorities and the paperwork signed. The permits are good for 60 days and the cost is $200.00 (pesos) per gun (about US$65.00). A person from our company will be there to help you if required.

RECEPTION AT THE AIRPORT

At BA's international airport a person from La Colorada SRL will be waiting to transport you to the domestic airport or to a hotel. Hunters should look for their names in a sign. This service is included in the cost of your hunt and there's no additional charge.

At Santa Rosa Airport (La Pampa) your PH will be waiting to begin the hunt that same afternoon.

CLIMATE

The country has a wide variety of climates ranging from north to south and from Winter (June-August) to Summer (December-February).

TOURISM

If required we can book any excursion or tour in Buenos Aires or the rest of the country. In BA you have several option including Gaucho's shows in private ranches (all day), Tango shows (dinner and show), boat tours trough the river (all day) and several others that you can check with us.

Also we offer personalized tours with an English speaking translator of our staff and a car to guide you around the city.

In other parts of our country you can choose to visit the Iguazú Falls (as beautiful as Victoria Falls), the Perito Moreno Glaciar , Tierra del Fuego (the island on the south of the coutry), Bariloche (and parts of the Patagonia), the North West (Salta, Jujuy, the Train to the Clouds).

LODGING AND REQUIRED EQUIPMENT

The lodging is in quality country houses with all the normal services provided at a hotel. Feel free to bring your wife along.

It's always recommended to bring some special items like: flashlight, knife, hunting boots (no regular shoes, as the thorns are bad). Also, your hunting scope as well as your binoculars should preferably have big diameter lenses to capture more light in order to see better at poor light conditions.

Long range shots are rare. Most will be at no more than 150 yards.

TAXIDERMY

La Colorada SRL can export your trophies salted and dried, or we can take them to a local taxidermist. We have good quality taxidermy and the cost is somewhere around one third of the regular cost in the US or Europe . It is important to note that after taxidermy has been done, the shipping cost will be 30/50% higher due to the bigger volume.
