Tucumán Getting There & Away

Getting There & Away

Tucuman is something of a 20-24 hour bus ride from Buenos Aires. This may seem daunting, but it is very do-able with the excelent inter-city transport that exists in Argentina. If you like, it is not a bad idea to stop off and visit other places along the way. If travelling from Buenos Aires, Rosario, Santa Fe and Corrientes are good cities to take a look at.

Get on one of the comfy inter-city buses that go through almost any mid-size city in Argentina. If you are going from Retiro in Buenos Aires just look for the "north" section of boleterias (ticket booths) and enquire for about a ticket to Tucuman.

During the ride you will be served a meal or two, be able to watch movies and will be in a chair that will recline a decent distance allowing you to have a good sleep (sleep is aided by the soft rocking rhythem of the buses).
