Argentina – To get to any of the Lodges in Argentina you will first need to travel to the main hub which is Buenos Aires (Ezeiza International Airport – EZE, Ministro Pistarini Airport). There are direct flights from Miami, Dallas, Atlanta, Los Angeles and New York in the United States and many of the main cities in Europe also have direct flights (Madrid, London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Rome, etc.) Once you arrive in Ezeiza we recommend staying one night in Buenos Aires to get to know the city and to be able to catch your local flight to the Lodge you are going to. To get to the Lodges your flight will most likely depart from the Local Airport (Aeroparque – AEP, Jorge Newbery Airport). Please contact your trip coordinator so that they can recommend the best flights to take. Local airline in Argentina is Aerolíneas Argentinas.
Red Stag Chile – To reach the lodge, you will first fly into Santiago de Chile (SCL), which has daily direct flights from many U.S. and European cities. From Santiago, take a 1 hour 30 minute flight south to Osorno Airport (ZOS). Upon arrival, lodge staff will meet you at the airport and transfer you by road to the lodge—an approximately 1.5 hour drive through beautiful landscapes with views of the Andes Mountains.
For those seeking a faster option, helicopter transfers can also be arranged between Osorno and the ranch, taking just 20 minutes.

- Argentina – The Argentinian Peso varies a lot in terms of exchange rate and there are several rates. If you are planning on staying in Buenos Aires a few days prior or after your stay with us, you can exchange money to have cash in hand. Ask us or the concierge at your hotel about the current rate and a safe place to exchange dollars. Restaurants, hotels and big stores will take credit cards as payment, but taxis, smaller stores and street vendors (in street fairs) take only cash, they might take dollars but might not give you the best exchange rate. At our Lodges you can pay extras and tips with a credit card or cash (US dollars).
- Chile – Similar to Argentina, if you will be staying in Santiago de Chile for a few days prior or after your trip you can exchange money to have some local currency, but many of the places you will visit will accept credit cards for payment. At the Lodge you can pay extras and tips with a credit card or cash (US dollars).
If you are joining us at one of our Red Stag Patagonia lodges, you can easily enhance your hunting experience by combining it with other big game hunting opportunities or a stay at one of our premier bird hunting lodges. Whether you’re looking to hunt additional species or enjoy a diverse outdoor adventure, you can do so through David Denies Bird Hunting or Nervous Waters for world-class fishing. All three brands are owned and operated by The Kautapen Group, ensuring that your outdoor experience is fun, memorable, and productive.
It depends on the location. All our Red Stag ranches have strong populations of Wild Boar. In Mendoza and Chile, we also offer Fallow Deer.
In Buenos Aires, hunters can pursue Blackbuck Antelope, Axis Deer, and Feral Hogs.
At our Corrientes program in Northeastern Argentina, we offer free-range hunts for large Axis Deer, Water Buffalo, Wild Boar, and Blackbuck as well.
