From USA or Europe
You have to fly to Cordoba airport (COR). There are three ways to get there:
+ Through Santiago (Chile)
- From USA: You can fly to Santiago de Chile and from there to Cordoba by Lanchile (http://www.lanchile.com).
- From
Europe: You
can fly to Santiago de Chile by either Iberia or Lanchile, and from there to
Cordoba only by Lanchile. You don't need to change airport in order to get
to Cordoba, the connections in Santiago are quite good and the airport is
comfortable.
+ Through Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
Carriers: there are probably many carriers that fly to Sao Paulo or Rio de
Janeiro (United Airlines for sure). However, from Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro
to Cordoba you can only fly by Gol (http://www.voegol.com.br).
If you take a direct flight from Sao Paulo to Cordoba (that is, not through
Paraguay, for example), it takes around 4 hours to get there.
Pros:You don´t have to change airport.
Cons: Some people do not like Sao Paulo's airport.
+ Through Buenos Aires (Argentina)
Carriers: there are several companies flying to Ezeiza international airport in
Buenos Aires (Iberia, Ahtalia, Lufthansa, Air France and British Airways form
Europe, and United Airlines, Delta, from USA). From there you need to change
airport (from Ezeiza to Jorge Newbery -also known as Aeroparque-
airport). Several argentinian airlines fly from Buenos Aires to Cordoba - Lan ,
Aerolineas Argentinas, Austral (http://www.aereolineas.com.ar)
-. A flight from Buenos Aires to Cordoba takes an hour.
Pros: you might want to stay in Buenos Aires for some time on your way to/back
from Cordoba. In which case it makes sense to fly through Buenos Aires.
Cons: You have to change airport.
Tips: If you stay in Buenos Aires, you might want to go to San Telmo and check
out the local culture. You might also want to go to the Puerto Maderos area for
diner or a drink by the river. When changing airports, use either a remis or a
shuttle service that you pay for in the airport itself (there are several
shuttle services of this type in Ezeiza and Aeroparque, a well known one is
Manuel Tienda Leon), *don't* take a taxi outside the airport (there are big
changes that you might be overcharged, etc). Similarly, if you stay in Buenos
Aires, ask your hotel front desk to get you a remis or taxi by phone and get the
front desk to ask the company for a rough estimate of how much you are going to
pay.
--------------How to get downtown from Cordoba Airport -----------------
You can take a taxi or remis from the airport to Cordoba. It costs around 30
Pesos tops (~ 10 dollars). If you do so, be sure to contract for it at the
airport, do not take a taxi or remis outside. You can also take the shuttle
service (Transfer Cordoba ), or a bus, but we do not recomend the latter. For
