    To access our destinations you have to plan flying into Buenos Aires, Argentina (EZE) or to Santiago, Chile (SCL). These two ports of entry are the capital cities or Argentina and Chile. Most of the international airlines comes to these airports.
In Buenos Aires you have to get to the local airport usually to get the flights to the different destinations in Patagonia inside Argentina.
In Chile, you can fly from the same airport at the next building for all the local destinations in the Chilean Patagonia.
If you are going skiing in Chile, most of the resorts, as Portillo, Valle Nevado, Farellones, El Colorado and La Parva are nearby downtown Santiago. You can get a transfer at the airport to go straight to the resort.

It is recommended to visit the cities of Buenos Aires and Santiago and take advantage of these two cosmopolitan spots. You can visit the cities, take advantage of the nightlife, cultural spectacles, restaurants, and of the incredible shopping. You will be surprised of what these two cities have to offer!
