How to Get to Córdoba, Argentina: Airport (COR), Buses & Tren de las Sierras

Positioned at the crossroads of Argentina's central highway and rail corridors, Córdoba is the country's most connected inland aviation and long-distance bus hub outside Buenos Aires, making it straightforward to reach from across South America and an effortless jumping-off point for the surrounding Sierras.

1. By Air: Ambrosio Taravella International Airport (IATA: COR, "Pajas Blancas")

• Domestic Hub & Regional International Flights: Located eleven kilometres (20 to 30 minutes by taxi) north of Plaza San Martín along Avenida La Voz del Interior, Córdoba Airport (COR) serves as a major hub for Aerolíneas Argentinas, Flybondi, and JetSMART. Multiple daily flights connect Córdoba with Buenos Aires (1 hour 20 minutes to Aeroparque AEP or Ezeiza EZE), alongside direct domestic services to Mendoza (1 hour), San Carlos de Bariloche (2 hours 10 minutes), Salta, Jujuy, Tucumán, and Puerto Iguazú. Direct international flights also link Córdoba with Santiago de Chile, Lima, Asunción, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Panama City.
• Airport Transfers to the Centre & Nueva Córdoba: Dedicated municipal Aerobus coaches depart directly outside the arrivals hall and run via Bulevar Chacabuco and Plaza San Martín to the main bus terminal (payable with a contactless Red Bus or SUBE card); licensed green-and-yellow airport taxis, remises, and ride-hailing apps are also readily available.

2. Long-Distance & Sierra Buses (T1 & T2 Terminals) & Tren de las Sierras

• Terminal de Ómnibus de Córdoba (Bicentenario T1 & T2): Situated on Bulevar Juan Domingo Perón on the eastern edge of Nueva Córdoba, the twin interconnected bus terminals handle both long-distance sleeper coaches from Buenos Aires Retiro (8 to 9 hours via Autopista RN 9 through Rosario), Mendoza, and Salta, and frequent regional minibuses to the mountain valleys. Check which building your operator uses: Terminal 1 (T1) and Terminal 2 (T2) divide interprovincial and provincial routes to Alta Gracia and Jesús María, Villa Carlos Paz and Cosquín, Villa General Belgrano, and Mina Clavero.
• The Scenic Tren de las Sierras & Getting Around on Foot: Operated by Trenes Argentinos from Mitre / Alta Córdoba stations, the Tren de las Sierras winds along the Río Suquía gorge past San Roque Dam to Cosquín, La Cumbre, and Capilla del Monte; check the official Trenes Argentinos portal for current schedules and advance ticket booking. Inside the city, the Jesuit Block, Barrio Güemes, and Nueva Córdoba are easily explored on foot, supplemented by urban buses and Córdoba's three electric trolleybus lines (A, B, and C).
