Arrival

Plan on arriving a few days prior to start date to check-into your housing and get settled. Airport pick-up service is available.  You actually reserve a taxi in advance (recommended) that works with the University of Belgrano.  The international airport of Buenos Aires (Ezeiza) is about 30 minutes from downtown.  Costs about $45.    Let us know your flight arrival details in advance….and we will arrange (confirm) airport taxi pick-up for you.  It is better and safer than what is offered at the airport.
