Argentina - Buenos Aires - Iguazu Falls

Would like some help from all of you please.
I'll be arriving at 11:30am on January 26 at the Buenos Aires International Airport.
Do I have time to switch airports to make a connection to I Falls at 3:30pm. What is the best and easiest ways to travel between the two airports? Was considering spending the night in BA then continuing on to Iguazu the next morning. Your suggestions most appreciated.
Considering the following hotels in Iguazu Falls:
Los Troscos - Hotel Cataras -- which do you recommend?
Considering the following hotels in BA:
Babel - Wilton - Cahuel Buenos Aires
Recommendations?

All help appreciated
Thank you
Glo

I think you will have plenty of time to get to the other airport for a 3:30 flight.
Remiss... they are right outside the doors after you get your luggage.. World Car and VIP
Babel in San Telmo? I have heard a few nice things about it.
Wilton is not a bad location, just for one night might be good, don't know the other one. What is your budget?
The Art Suites Hotel is good too .. in Recoleta www.artsuites.com.ar

Hello,

4 hours is about the right amount of time to get between airports, you could either book a shuttle in advance (cheaper) or you could get a taxi from OUTSIDE the airport, the places inside are expensive, it'll probably take you about an hour!

Hope that helps!

This is not quite the same question, but related.

We will be flying back to BA from Iguazu, then plan to take Buquebus to Colonia or Montevideo (not sure which). How much time should we allow to go from the airport to the bus?

Do not, repeat DO NOT, take any transportation from outside the airport, which cannot be PREPAID in an official-looking booth.

Have a great time in our country.

SusanInToronto: the ride from the domestic airport to Buquebus port shouldn't take long, it all depends on the traffic. You have to go along Rafael Obligado Av. towards the city center. The ride will take no more than 20 or 30 minutes however if you travel on a weekday it may take 30 minutes or a little bit more since there are many trucks and long distance busses in the area

I've just come back from Colonia and I highly recommend you go there! It's really nice, a very picturesque town. I took a city tour but another good option is to rent a bike or golf carts (carts at thrifty.com) and go on your own.

Enjoy your trip!

Thanks Sofi_2506. I think we will end up spending a night in Colonia on our way to Punta del Este.

Thanks for your suggestions -- I think I'll try for the connection on the 26th. I will make my reservation for transportation ahead of time.
