Airlines & Flight Information:
Our Teams have flown on and we recommend LAN Airlines over all the others we have utilized. Another good airlines for flying into Buenos Aires is American Airlines.
Ground Transportation:
As noted by the Bureau of Consular Affairs - Traffic accidents are the primary threat to life and limb in Argentina. Pedestrians and drivers should exercise caution. Drivers frequently ignore traffic laws and vehicles often travel at excessive speeds. That's why... when at all possible, the Team will walk to the destinations.
Accommodations:
Depending on the number of Team Members and the focus of the trip, Cambremon Hotel is a lovely and reasonable place to stay while in Beunos Aires.

Walking Schedule:
The Partenrship trips are not for those better suited for cruises! Many days of each trip are spent walking to each location, meeting, praying for and talking with those along the way. About 10 miles per day is an average - that's nearly a half marathon! If you're joining the next trip - start walking NOW!
