Currency

US dollars are widely accepted throughout Argentina, and you can easily exchange dollars for pesos at hotels, banks, or authorized exchange offices. While street exchanges were once popular, rates are now comparable to official channels, making them safer and more reliable. Merchants often give change in pesos when payments are made in dollars.

Travel Cash

We recommend bringing at least $800 in cash for gratuities, small tips in town, and incidental expenses at airports (snacks, drinks, etc.). Please note that at Jurassic Lake Lodge, we only accept cash payments; traveler’s checks and credit cards are not accepted.

Gratuities:

We recommend gratuities in the range of $80.00 - $100.00 per person per day, which can be given to the lodge manager to be split among the staff.

Fishing Licenses:

Fishing licenses are included and issued on-site.

Climate:

The region is very windy and harsh so come well prepared! Temperatures can vary widely and the area can be hot especially in February. The early season and especially March and April can be cold. Sunscreen should always be packed as should quality wind proof clothing.

Clothing:

It is recommended that anglers layer their clothing, enabling the adding and subtracting of garments throughout the day. Pack windstopper fleece jackets, thermal underwear, wool socks and a wool cap to be prepared for the extreme wind and weather that the area is rightfully famous for. Layering with wool or synthetics is always recommended and avoid cotton. A reliable windstopper fleece and a high quality rain jacket are mandatory. Several pairs of gloves are also a good idea if traveling to the lake in late March or April. Rugged waterproof camp shoes are also a good choice.

Beverages / Alcohol:

Beer and wine and strong alcoholic drinks are included in your package price except for the whisky selection for sale by shots of bottle

Medical Facilities:

Calafate is the closest hospital and 8 hours from the Lodge. Due to the remote location, we strongly recommend that anglers purchase travel insurance and medical evacuation coverage.
