How to get to La Cumbre

Note: if you need to buy bus tickets to go from Buenos Aires to La Cumbre you will find schedules and prices here. Tickets may be purchased at the Retiro bus terminal (or in many other local offices), over the internet and, also, by phone.

• From Cordoba International Airport

  You can either take the city bus or a taxi to the bus station in downtown Cordoba (approximate cost: AR$ 5 by bus, AR$ 50 by taxi). It is a 30 min. drive, but the bus may take longer. To take the city bus you need to purchase a special token ("cospel") before getting on the bus. Cospeles are sold at the airport and in almost every newspaper stand in the city. Alternatively, arrangements can be made for direct transportation to La Cumbre (90km). If you wish, we can make arrangements for a direct taxi from the airport to La Cumbre. In this case, please provide the information about airline, flight number and arrival time by sending an email to Laura Barberis: barberis@famaf.unc.edu.ar. Unfortunately, we cannot reimburse the cost of transportation between Cordoba and La Cumbre.
