Also, please let us know if you intend to go to a hotel instead of the campus rooms.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear colleague Jerry Marsden, who worked with us in the organization as a member of the scientific committee.
San Carlos de Bariloche (Wikipedia, Google Maps), more usually referred to as Bariloche, is a touristic city in the foothills of the Andes. It has temperatures between 6 and 22 degrees Celsius in January (average low and average high). Even though the conference will take place in the summer, you are encouraged to bring some warm clothes, especially for the night. You might also want to bring appropriate shoes for trekking in the mountains.
The easiest way to get to Bariloche is by plane from Buenos Aires. The following airlines have regular flights:
It is very important to note that virtually all international flights arrive at Ezeiza Airport, also called Ministro Pistarini Airport. On the other hand, domestic flights depart from Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, so you will most likely have to change airports. There is a shuttle service connecting Ezeiza to Aeroparque (prices are in ARS, not USD).
