Ministro Pistarini International (EZE) is 32 km south of Buenos Aires — a 45-70 minute drive depending on traffic + toll roads. Pre-booked transfers are especially valuable for Argentina arrivals because: (1) the "blue dollar" currency situation (parallel exchange rate) means airport ATM cash withdrawals give you a dramatically worse rate — pre-paid transfer via credit card sidesteps this; (2) EZE has a documented taxi + rideshare tout problem outside baggage claim; (3) the alternative Manuel Tienda León shuttle bus (ARS 8,500 / ~USD 8) drops at central Retiro station requiring onward taxi. Pre-booked transfer: direct to Palermo / Recoleta / Puerto Madero (45-75 min). Domestic Buenos Aires airport (AEP / Aeroparque Jorge Newbery) is 4 km from city centre + used for Iguazú + Ushuaia + Bariloche domestic flights.

Manuel Tienda León or pre-booked transfer?+
Manuel Tienda León (ARS 8,500 / ~USD 8) is unbeatable value for solo travellers on tight budgets — coach to Retiro station + hotel drop-off shuttle. Pre-booked transfer wins for 2+ passengers (per-person cost approaches MTL), door-to-door timing, luggage safety, and the "blue dollar" credit-card-payment sidestep. For first-time Buenos Aires visitors: pre-booked transfer is worth the premium.
EZE to AEP domestic airport transfer?+
Common routing for onward Iguazú Falls, Ushuaia, Bariloche flights. Pre-book EZE→AEP transfer allowing 90+ minutes for cross-Buenos Aires traffic (worst 07:00-10:00 + 17:00-20:00). Alternative: Manuel Tienda León EZE→Retiro then Retiro→AEP shuttle. If your onward flight is same day + you have Spanish, MTL works; otherwise pre-booked private transfer is easier.
Argentina blue-dollar situation — how does it affect transfers?+
Argentina has a parallel USD exchange rate (blue dollar) 30-50% better than the official rate. Airport ATMs give official rate = you lose value. Pre-paid transfers via international credit card (booked from home) apply the official rate but you've already paid outside the country. Uber charges official rate on Argentina credit cards. Cash USD is widely accepted at hotels + high-end restaurants + often preferred (blue rate). Bring 300-500 USD cash for the first days.
Iguazú Falls from Buenos Aires — day trip possible?+
Impractical as a day trip. Iguazú (IGR airport) is 90 min flight from AEP domestic airport + tours need full days at the falls. Standard itinerary: Buenos Aires overnight → early AEP domestic flight to Iguazú → 2 nights at Puerto Iguazú → return to Buenos Aires. Pre-book EZE arrival + EZE→AEP transfer for the domestic flight connection.
