Cheap Airfare- NY - Buenos Aires-Iguasu- Rio
We're planning a trip for next January from NY and want to go to Rio, Iguasu,and Buenos Aires. We could go NY-BA-IGU-Rio or reverse, and want to go on our own rather than with a tour group, though we wouldn't mind being with a group in IGU if that is that is the least expensive way to do it. Any suggestions for cheap airfares? Or air/hotel packages? There are packages from BA to Iguasu, but they involve RT to BA & it seems silly to backtrack from IGU to BA & then go back north to Rio. Help!

I did this itinerary in October, 2002. I bought an open jaw ticket from the US, arriving in Buenos Aires and returning to the US from Rio. To get to Iguazu, buy a one way ticket from Buenos Aires flying into Puerto Iguazu, Argentina, then buy another one way ticket from Foz do Iguacu, Brasil to Rio. I found that this was the cheapest and quickest way to go. I can recommend the Tropical das Cataratas hotel on the Brasilian side. I paid about $110/night for 2 night with a view of the falls.

Use IGR for Iguazu, Argentina.
Use IGU for Iguassu, Brazil
BUE for both airports in Buenos Aires
RIO for both airports in Rio DJ.
Brazilian carriers: TAM, Gol, VASP, Varig
Argentine carriers: Aerolineas Argentinas, Southern Winds, Astral, others.
