Event Closest Airport

Santa Fe City

is to arrive previously at the INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT OF EZEIZA (in Buenos Aires, capital of the country ) and from there–previous transfer until the METROPOLITAN AIRPORT “JORGE NEWBERY “ using the company of transport “Tienda León“– a coastal traffic flight should be hired to the cities of SANTA FE ( Sauce Viejo Airport ) or PARANA ( Air Brigade Airport ), places toward where they operate the AEROLINEAS ARGENTINAS, AUSTRAL, LAER and anothers weekly. The schedules of the flights of these companies and the respective rates should be consulted with your travel agent.
It is highly convenient to travel from the foreigner already having included the flight BUENOS AIRES / SANTA FE / BUENOS AIRES since in that way their cost is scanty or minimum (some companies of trips directly give it free), besides being very practical for the traveler the transfer of Ezeiza to Jorge Newbery Airport.

Once in Santa Fe or Parana, the only means or ways of arriving are by surface mail through the bus services that leave from the BUS TERMINAL STATIONS of both cities until La Paz. The travel in bus from Santa Fe or Paraná to La Paz has a duration of 2 hours (maximum) and the buses are very comfortable.

We advise you to inform to the organization of the competition of the hour and approximate day of arrival to that city from La Paz to the ends of making the pertinent arrangements for their best attention and location.
