Travelers MUST have (and provide a copy of) a valid passport that does not expire within 6 months of trip date, with 2 blank unstamped pages and it must not be damaged. US Citizens traveling from the U.S. for up to 90 days are not required to get a Tourist Visa.

Fly into Buenos Aires Ministro Pistarini International airport - EZE either the night/day prior to your trip start date or NO LATER THAN 9 AM on your trip start date. We highly recommend arriving a day or more prior to your trip start date, due to the nature of international travel. 

TCH can assist with booking a hotel for overnight and recommend restaurants in the vicinity of the domestic airport you will fly out of late morning of trip start date; (AEP) - Aeroparque Internacional Jorge Newbery.

Added ground transport costs may be incurred if you are farther than 20 minutes from EZE.

The cost of ground transfer from where youy stay in BA to the domestic transfer airport, AEP to Corrientes (and same back) are not included in the trip package price. The total cost will be sent once set along with air transfer cost for flight on trip start date from EZE to Corrientes. At most will be $450/person, but TBD once we go to book. We will book these transfers for you.

We’re on site well in advance of your arrival to ensure every detail meets our specifications.

Enjoy a variety of eclectic dishes, from a fresh spin on a traditional chimichurri to delectable dulcé de leche sauces, we mix it up! Each aspect of every meal comes together to tell a story, and it all becomes part of our shared experience.

Lodge staff, guides, and local partners*: $1,500/Angler at the end of your stay

*SET Fly Fishing will split your gratuity among their guides, lodge staff, and assisting crew, so rather than tipping your guide at the end of each fishing day, you will provide this in one lump sum.
