GETTING TO BARILOCHE AND AWAY

Bariloche is 1568km far from Buenos Aires. If you  take a bus, it might take you around 20 to 22 hours travelling. On the other hand, if you fly over from B.A to Bariloche, it will just take you 2 hours.

Make sure to check how much time you've got to travel before choosing your transportation by the price. Bus services are excellent. All of them include dinner onboard and some even offer full flat bed seats.

However, prices between economy class flights and the most expensive bus service are not too different.
