New Flight from Brazil!

A new air connection with Brazil is always highly positive for inbound tourism in Argentina. Beginning July 1st, the low-cost airline JetSmart will start operating the Recife-Buenos Aires route, allowing a key destination in northern Brazil to connect with our country.

The flight will operate four times a week—on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays—at very affordable prices, which are already available for purchase on the airline’s website.

With this addition, Recife joins Rio de Janeiro and Florianópolis among JetSmart’s routes to Buenos Aires.

What to Do in Argentina

Argentina has six regions:

• Buenos Aires (home to the capital, Buenos Aires City).
• Córdoba (in the country's geographic center, with its hills, rivers, and famous fernet!).
• Litoral (ideal for visiting the Iguazú Falls or exploring the nature of Esteros del Iberá and El Impenetrable, among many other places).
• North (full of colors and rich in the legacy of native communities).
• Cuyo (the good life with wine, sunshine, and the Andes Mountains).
• Patagonia (magical and mysterious, with breathtaking landscapes, lakes, and snow, all the way to the End of the World).

Each of these regions offers a variety of experiences, climates for all tastes, top-tier gastronomy, and incredibly hospitable people.
