Step by Step

Your Journey, Door to Door

Departure

Board Your Overnight Flight

Your hunt begins the moment you board. Most guests fly overnight from the U.S. or Europe, arriving in Buenos Aires the following morning. Pack light — the lodge takes care of everything once you land.

Day 2
Arrival

Buenos Aires → The Pampas

Morning arrival at Ezeiza International. An English-speaking guide meets you and handles a private 40-minute transfer to the domestic terminal. A short flight to Bahía Blanca, then a scenic 2-hour ground transfer through rolling La Pampa countryside. Arrive for lunch, settle in, and head out for an afternoon scouting outing if time allows. That evening, the open bar is ready.

Days 3 – 6

Four Full Days in the Field

These are the days you came for. Each morning begins before first light — coffee in hand, guides ready, 50,000 acres of wild pampas ahead. Stalk red stag through the brush, track blackbuck across open grasslands, or wait in silence as a massive axis deer emerges from the tree line. Evenings always end the same way: stories, wine, and the crackling of the fogón under an infinite Argentine sky.

Early Breakfast & Farewell

After a final breakfast, your private transfer departs for Bahía Blanca. A domestic flight brings you back to Buenos Aires, where our representative handles the transfer to Ezeiza International. Your late-evening flight home departs with your trophies packed and your heart still somewhere on the pampas.

Home

Morning Arrival — Memories in Tow

You land back home. The trip is over. Los Araucanos has a way of staying with you long after you’ve left — and most guests are already planning their return before their bags hit the carousel.
