I'll be routing ex SFO. Thanks!
No contest--EZE. GRU is a concrete jungle with not a whole lot to do. Except in some of the higher end hotels, English is not widely spoken. EZE is a lot easier to get around in if you don't speak Spanish. The city is nice with a lot of character. Also if you like beef-it doesn't get any better than EZE. Try Las Lilas in Puerto Madero.
