A multitude of land and river crossing points connect Argentina with neighboring Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia and Chile. Travel from Chile usually involves a hike through the Andes, while overland travel to Bolivia can go through the border towns of La Quiaca, Tarija or Pocitos/Yacuiba. Paraguay can be reached by bus and/or river launch, and the most common crossing to Brazil is via Foz do Iguaçu or Uruguaiana. Uruguay is linked to Argentina by road bridges, and ferries sail between Buenos Aires and Colonia in Uruguay
Upon leaving the country a tax of $ 23,50 has to be paid.

Argentina is big and, given the enormous size, air is the ideal
form of transport as you can cover large distances easily. Then, to
complete your journey, you can later use overland transport.
Five major Argentine airlines attempt to make this big country appear smaller. Aerolíneas Argentinas handles domestic as well as international routes, while Austral covers domestic routes only. Línea Aéreas Privadas Argentinas (LAPA) competes with Austral and Aerolíneas on many domestic routes. Líneas Aéreas del Estado (LADE), the air force's passenger service, serves mostly Patagonian destinations. Dinar serves smaller domestic destinations. Discount deals and passes are advisable as fares are expensive. In some cases, however, flying can be cheaper than covering the same distance by bus.
Purchase an Airpass Visit Argentina issued by Aerolíneas Argentinas and Austral

By Bus
Much of the country is available by bus. The Buenos Aires
bus station is on Av. Ramos Mejía 1680 near to Retiro Station. Long distance
buses have toilets, air conditioning and a bar. Long-distance buses are fast and
comfortable; some even provide on-board meal services. However, fares are
expensive and fluctuate wildly. Private operators have assumed control of the
formerly state-owned railways, but have shown little interest in providing
passenger service except on commuter lines in and around Buenos Aires. The
provinces of Río Negro, Chubut, Tucumán and La Pampa continue to provide
much-reduced passenger service.
