Airports, Connections & Logistics
Planning Your Arrival
We’ll help you choose the right airport, coordinate your flight connections, and arrange transfers based on your itinerary and fishing destination.
Most guests book their international flights independently. Once those flights are confirmed, we can take care of the rest. Through our trusted travel agent, we can also help purchase the domestic tickets needed for your itinerary, making the entire journey easier to coordinate.
In most cases, the journey begins with an international arrival at Ezeiza (Ministro Pistarini International Airport – EZE). Most domestic flights used to reach Northern Patagonia depart from AEP (Jorge Newbery Airport), so a connecting transfer between airports is often required. We can help coordinate that transfer, your domestic flight and your onward journey to the lodge.
Some guests need—or simply prefer—to spend a night in Buenos Aires between flights. We can recommend or arrange a hotel, organize all necessary transfers and, for those who would like to discover the city, help plan a private Buenos Aires tour as part of the journey.
Regional Gateways
Our Most-Used Airport
San Martin de los Andes
CHAPELCO (AVIADOR CARLOS CAMPOS) is the airport we use most often. It is small, practical and easy to navigate. AEROLINEAS ARGENTINAS operates most of the flights our guests use to reach CPC.
When you land, we will be there to welcome you and begin the transfer to the first destination in your itinerary.
When It Best Fits the Itinerary
San Carlos de Bariloche
A practical alternative for itineraries beginning or ending farther south, and for guests combining fishing with time in the Bariloche or Traful areas.
It also works well when flight schedules make Bariloche the easier connection for a particular travel date.
Mainly for the Middle Limay
Neuquen City
A useful gateway for selected Middle Limay River programs, particularly when an itinerary is centered around Piedra del Aguila.
We evaluate Neuquen together with Chapelco and Bariloche when planning the most efficient route.
Buenos Aires Connections
International travelers generally arrive through Ezeiza International Airport before connecting to a domestic flight to Patagonia. Some domestic services depart from Aeroparque, located closer to central Buenos Aires, while others may operate from Ezeiza.
Because airport changes, baggage collection and city traffic require time, we review each itinerary carefully. When an overnight in Buenos Aires is the more comfortable option, we can assist with transfers and hotel planning.
Flight schedules can change by date and season, so final arrangements should always be based on the flights operating for your specific travel days.
Typical Road Transfers
Driving times are approximate and may vary with the selected route, weather, road conditions and stops along the way.
Good travel planning starts with an ongoing conversation between us. Before purchasing any flights, we first work with you to finalize your fishing program and lodge stays, then review the available domestic connections together.
Once those pieces are aligned, you can select the international flights that connect most comfortably. We can then review the connection carefully. Most flights to San Martin de los Andes (CPC) and San Carlos de Bariloche (BRC) operate from AEP (Aeroparque Internacional Jorge Newbery), making an airport change necessary. Whenever that transfer is required, it is essential to allow enough time between flights and coordinate the shuttle in advance.
On some dates, flights from EZE directly to CPC or BRC may be available, simplifying the connection and avoiding the airport transfer.
