Hi all, It seems to be very difficult to make reservations for busses from COR to BA. I had no problems with all the other cities in Argentina. COR and BA are both big cities, it's weird that I can not find a good bussdrive to BA. How is it possible? Am I overlooking something? Or maybe I should cut the trip in half? From COR to Rosario and then BA? Or would you advice the train? I would really apprectiate your advice! Many thanks! Nienke from Holland

I'd like to know where I can exchange dollars to pesos,I'll be arriving by plane,is it better to change at the airport or do I get better rates at the city.Thanks in advance.

In December, we plan to spend 3 days in Cordoba as we heard it is a colonial city, and enjoy historical areas. I was hoping to find some nice older hotels with some charm or personality, but online all the hotels I've found look like big modern glass boxes. Are there any nice lodgings in or near Cordoba that are unique? Also - we thought me might find some points of interest in smaller towns outside Cordoba ...are there some day trips or small towns in the vicinity we should visit? Elaine

Hey Folks, I will be traveling to South America next year for about 12 months. I would need flights from Lima/Peru to Cordoba/Argentina in July, from Cordoba to Santiago (or another Chilenian destination, depends on where I get my internship at) in November 2006 and another ticket from this Chilenian destiation to Rio de Janeiro in February 2007. I know that travel agencies don't have fares for 2007 by now. Would you recommend booking all those inland flights while I'm already in South America? Would you recommend using a multiple-city-ticket or to by one-way-tickets instead? Can you recommend a good but cheap airline that serves the destinations I want to fly to? Thanks so much for your help! Best regards, Michelle

Does anyone know if I can purchase bus tickets between BA and Cordoba from here in the US, or should I wait until I get there? I am worried that by the time I get there I may not be able to get reservations since it is high season. I am traveling in January. Also...is smoking allowed on Argentine buses? I'd have a problem with that since unfortunately I am allergic to it. Thanks...Linda

I'm reposting my question here, and apologize for initially posting it on a more general location. I'm planning a trip to Argentina and Chile and am seeking advice as to whether a trip to Cordoba may be worthwhile. Also, how long would a bus ride take to Santiago from Cordoba -- and is this advisable? Why am I considering a bus ride to Santiago? I'm trying to ration my Mercosur Airpass miles. Also, I've read that U.S. tourists entering Chile by land need not pay the100 tourist fee charged those entering the country via air. (I plan to fly to Buenos Aires after spending a week in Chile.) My plan is to fly into Rio or Sao Paulo, head for Iguacu Falls, then to Cordobo. From there, onward to Santiago, then to Buenos Aires and back to Sao Paulo for my return to San Francisco. I've got nearly a month. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Ciao.
