 What
to bring
Electric
current in Argentina is 220 V; so you will need adapters and transformers
for shavers, etc.. The plugs here are round and not flat as in US and
Europe. A standard transformer from 220 V to 110 V will do the trick..
Insect
repellent helps on many occasions in the duck areas.
Do
not forget your camera, film, batteries, etc..
Eye
and ear protection is a must for heavy shooting.
Gloves
for cold mornings or a good pair also helps the fingers when reloading
an autoloader. A sore thumb can make hunting not so attractive.
Bring
two guns, if foreign made, register your guns before departure; form
4457 US Customs will help when you return to the US.

technical form needed in order to bring firearms into Argentina and
to take them back to their country of origin can be downloaded from:

The
weather in Argentina is opposite to that of US and Europe as we are
in the southern hemisphere. Temperatures in Buenos Aires during the
month of July equate to December temperatures in Greenville,SC in the
US.; to make it brief. Our coldest hunting area when waterfowling or
up-land bird shooting is in the Cnel. Pringles area; (program N* 5),
early morning frost; the wind chill effect plus an early morning start
all help to make it feel chilly.
Temperatures here can range between 30´s early in the morning
to 40´s and 50´s at noon and the afternoons. Other areas
can be fresh in the morning but then warm by mid morning; noon and the
afternoons; say 50´s to 70´s ºF.
The wind chill on some occasions when on the launches in the duck areas,
( programs 2 and 4) may be chilly but a good wind-breaking jacket /
parka will help.
Short
cut boots that are both waterproof and comfortable to walk in, are ideal
for the partridge/perdiz shoots on the open fields.
Briar
pants are not necessary in any of the areas.
Last
but most important, the chest waders we all hate packing, do a great
job in the duck hunting area and are handy for geese shoot as they will
keep you warm as well as dry. All clothing should be green; brown or
camo.
