Getting from Buenos Aires to Bogota [closed]

While you get a more concrete answer, here is some info.

Rio is out of the way (its farther from Bogotá than BA is), unless you explicitly want to visit; it's a 3-hour flight (or 48-hour bus) from BA and it will not be particularly cheap. And then its not like Manaos is close to Bogotá...

You could fly to Bolivia or Perú and then try to get to Bogotá by land; but be warned that transportation in Bolivia is an adventure in itself. You could also consider a bus or flight from Buenos Aires to Santiago and then make your way up.

All said, I don't think you can make that trip a lot cheaper. Bogotá is 7000km away from Buenos Aires (for comparison, Perth is 4000km away from Sydney).

Flights within South America are notoriously expensive. Occasionally, you might be able to get a deal, but you'd have to keep monitoring ticket prices. While one-way tickets seldom can be had on the cheap.

There is no easy overland route from Argentina to Colombia, but it's certainly doable, and you're doing it yourself in reverse already. The typical route between the two is Colombia to Ecuador to Peru, then to Argentina via either Bolivia and Brazil or Chile. But, this is the journey you're already taking.

If you want to avoid this itinerary going from BA to Colombia, some options are:

• Flying to Panama, which tends to be more affordable than other nearby destinations, then crossing the Darien Gap to Colombia. This is very doable.
• Getting yourself to Manaus and crossing into Colombia. Either directly, or via Venezuela. This requires time and won't be too cheap.
• Getting yourself to Belem and making a bunch of hops, via the Guyanas, to Colombia. This also takes time and won't be cheap.
• Taking the longest bus ride in the world from Rio (or Sao Paulo) to Lima and then making your way up, for example with one other bus straight to Colombia. It's not likely this will be cheaper than flying.
