Getting To Rio Manso

 

Most travel to Rio Manso Lodge starts with an international flight to Buenos Aires.  Many major airlines fly into Argentina’s capital city.  From North America, Delta, United and American all offer regular flights.  

Once you arrive at Ezeiza (EZE), the international airport, you will likely have to transfer to the domestic airport, Jorge Newbury (AEP), to continue your journey. Although there are some direct flights to Bariloche, they rarely coordinate with the international arrival times.  Many guests take this opportunity to spend a day or two in Buenos Aires, a beautiful city known as the “Paris of the South”.  

Should you decide to continue directly to the lodge, there are multiple flights daily from Buenos Aires to Bariloche (BRC), the airport closest to Rio Manso Lodge.  Bariloche is perhaps the best served airport in Patagonia with a dozen or more flights each day from the capitol.  

Be sure to allow at least 4 hours between arrival at EZE and departure from AEP to allow for clearing customs, transferring between airports, and checking in for your domestic flight.  Aerolineas Argentinas and JETsmart both fly to Bariloche.  A Rio Manso Lodge representative will meet you at the airport for the 1 ½ hour drive to the lodge.
