After the Foz do Iguaçu Marathon: Buenos Aires

The Route: Foz do Iguaçu → Puerto Iguazú → flight from IGR → Buenos Aires (3 nights) → Airport Logistics: A flight from Argentina's Iguazú airport (IGR). Brazil's Foz do Iguaçu airport is IGU and is a different place. Book a service yourself and check the time of the flight, since a race transfer does not cross the border. Marathon Month: September Duration: 3 nights

Buenos Aires is a plane ride from the falls, and it makes a rest week after a marathon. The days are for short visits and long lunches, and not for pushing through a list.

September in Buenos Aires: September is spring in the southern hemisphere. No climate figure is given here, so check the forecast before you pack, and bring a layer for the evenings.

Getting There

Cross the border to Puerto Iguazú with the passport you travelled on, and check the entry and re-entry rules for your nationality. Do not mix up the airports: Iguazú airport (IGR) is in Argentina and Foz do Iguaçu airport (IGU) is in Brazil. Book a flight from IGR on a service you have confirmed, since no timetable or duration was published and a race shuttle does not run across the border. Allow a whole day for the move, with the immigration papers you need to come back.

Nights One to Three: One Base

Choose one hotel in Buenos Aires for all the nights and leave your luggage there. The first day is for rest. For the others, plan a short visit to San Telmo, which the city's own route describes as about two hours as a whole, and divide it into smaller blocks after a marathon. Add a separate outing to Recoleta on another day, with a seat between museum visits. Check each museum's closing day before you go.

Rates and availability change, so ask the city's tourism office for current options.

Getting Home

Book your onward flight from the correct Buenos Aires airport, as not every flight uses the same one. If you must return to Brazil, re-enter legally and leave a margin before an international connection. This is a proposed sequence, not a ticketed package, and no same-day connection is guaranteed.
