They must travel with a passport from their country of residence valid for at least six (6) months at the time of entering Argentina.

Once you arrive at Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) you’ll need a domestic flight to Santiago del Estero, usually departing from Aeroparque Newbery (AEP).

The Argentinian Peso varies a lot in terms of exchange rate and there are
several rates. If you are planning to stay in Buenos Aires a few days prior or after your stay with us, you can exchange money to have cash in hand. Ask the hotel concierge about the current rate and a safe place to exchange dollars. Restaurants, hotels and big stores will take credit cards as payment, but taxis, small stores and vendors in street fairs take only cash. They may take dollars but may not offer you the best exchange rate.
At our Lodges all extras will be paid cash (American dollars).
Free wi-fi access available at both lodges. We do our best to provide guests with fast and reliable internet, but we depend on the carrier that provides the service in the rural area where our lodges are located. Sometimes this results in slow speed or service delays. We apologize in advance if one of these problems occurs during your stay.
