Alternates include starting in IAD or EWR.

AC of course flies YYZ - EZE (via SCL I believe) but the taxes would be more than $1000 which is not worth it IMHO.

If you travel on a Canadian passport, you will need expensive visas for EZE & GRU.


AFAIK no visas required for Canadians travelling to Argentina for short term tourism purposes--neither for Chile. Brazil--yes.

This is correct.
