I am travelling from Buenos Aires to the Valley of Tears" in the Andes where the Rugby Players plane crashed in 1972. We are going with National Geographic to explore the memorial site. I will be staying one night in BA and then require transport to San Rafael. I want ot travel in comfort. Is there a site wheich explains either train (sleeper) or bus information in English (my Spanish is very poor - Sorry!) Also, what is the best recommended hotel in San Rafael and Beunos Aires? I will be back in BA at the end of the expedition. Arriving in BA on 10 Feb 06 and departing on 20 Feb 06. Thanks for your help.

Well, I'm pioneering this San Rafael Forum! Strange, because I'm not there yet. I'm seriously considering relocating. My only orientation to this area is the restaurant Cabaña El Amigo, Ruta 143 Km. Can anybody provide me with a map of this area? I don't find it on any map I've found so far. Thanks. Lyndelle
