Getting to Argentina

If you're coming from the United States, the best way is to fly to Argentina. You'll have to fly into Buenos Aires and then connect to another flight to reach your final destination. Or you can explore your options for boat travel. This section provides a few tips and links to help you decide how you'll get to Argentina, whatever your destination city.

Dulcinea's Insight

  • Because Argentina is bordered by tall mountains and water on nearly all sides, if you want to travel between other South American countries, you will have to fly or take a boat.
  • If you're interested in exploring Argentina's southern coast, many cruises leave from Ushuaia, but it may be a better bet to fly to Chile where boats leave for Tierra Del Fuego from Valparaiso and Puenta Arenas and provide access to the dramatic coastline and fjords of both Chile and Argentina.
  • Ezieza Airport has two security checkpoints: one to get to the gate and one at each international gate. All liquids are confiscated at the gate security unless they were purchased in the airport. Make sure you save all receipts for water bottles and duty-free items and pack all toiletries in your checked luggage.
