Great. And Mar del Plata is a quite nice, quiet and flat city, which will help on this as well. On this subject, I think (having only been there ~10 years ago, but not in Mendoza) that Mar del Plata will win hands down. There is _big_ touristic infrastructure, and the city is not small, so I guess connectivity and availability of anything we might need to buy will not be much of an issue
I'm not sure what you mean about Mar del Plata winning hands down. Mendoza is also a beautiful city and it's bigger (4th largest as opposed to 7th largest), and there are ramps for wheel-chairs on practically every corner. The main disadvantage is that the hotel is not directly inside the city, and that it's a bit smaller than the one in Mar del Plata.
- But again, re: accessibility: How hard is it to move from the Buenos Aires airport until Mar del Plata for a person with disabilities? Both for the Ezeiza-Autoparque (the two Buenos Aires airports) route and for going by land to Mar del Plata?
I'll get in contact with the bus agency to find this out. I expect them to have accessible buses, but it never hurts to confirm this.
When I was there, I took the train from Buenos Aires to Mar del Plata. It was a nice, 5hr ride, much more comfortable than going by bus. Maybe even more disabled-friendly. Does the train service still work?
I'm not sure which would be more accessible, we would need to investigate both to find out. The train service still works, and is cheaper than the bus. However, to go to Mar del Plata, you'd still need to take a bus to the train station and wait there for the train. It seems to me that a direct trip from the airport to the hotel is more comfortable (less waits). -- Besos, Marga _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
