Best way in/out of BRC and ZCO
Trying to see if I missed any options. Using standard tools, the only way I can see getting into BRC is from AEP (LA/AR), and out of ZCO is to SCL (LA).
Did I miss any options? Anyone know the tools for finding all options in/out of a South American airport (99% of my experience is NA and international hubs). Thanks.

You probably did not miss any air options. I have no idea how feasible or expensive this is, or how long it takes, but you might want to research a bus that takes you from Temuco down to Pto. Varas (or out to Petrohué) and then the boat/bus across to Bariloche.

Thanks much. There's competition AEP-BRC (yet only one flight a day for each carrier?), yet only one carrier ZCO-SCL (though multiple flights a day). I'm guessing that if these cities were in NA, they'd be serviced by EAS. I'll check into ground-transportation, yet as the flights appear to be 1hr+, in that terrain, that might be an all-day trip. Thanks!
