Where will the event take place?

The event will take place in Puerto Madryn, Argentina, at the campus of Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia San Juan Bosco, located at Bv. Almte Brown 3051, U9120 Puerto Madryn, Chubut, Argentina.

Due to the way air traffic is organized in the country, if you are arriving from abroad, for example from Europe or North America, you will have to first get to the city of Buenos Aires through the Ezeiza airport, and then take a short flight south, to Puerto Madryn, from the Aeroparque airport. Please continue reading below for more details.

Information about airports and local shuttles

The main international airport is the Aeropuerto Internacional de Ezeiza (known as Ezeiza). Official information about this airport is available here, unofficial but otherwise useful information in English is available here and here.

The main airport for local flights out of Buenos Aires is the Aeroparque Metropolitano Jorge Newbery (known as Aeroparque). There is a 45 minutes express bus service offered by Manuel Tienda León with a frequency of 30 minutes that connects the Ezeiza airport with the Puerto Madero terminal in the city center and also with the Aeroparque airport for domestic flights.

To get from Aeroparque to Puerto Madryn, there are at least two options:

  1. Go to Aeropuerto Tehuelche, about 10 km away from Puerto Madryn.

  2. Go to Aeropuerto Almirante Marcos A. Zar, about 60 km away from Puerto Madryn near the city of Trelew.

The second option has a higher flight frequency and is preferred by tourists, since flights into Puerto Madryn are restricted as a result of environmental concerns. The 50km distance difference can be made up for by using the door-to-door shuttle service to Puerto Madryn.
