Where are you flying from?
There are direct flights from Miami, Dallas, Toronto, Washington and
other hubs to Buenos Aires.

My question is about whether we would be there during the "peak"
season, and when exactly is that season?
I priced flights for me in July, November and March (2014). It
seems that most flights go through Santiago or Sao Paulo, one went
through Atlanta. The lowest cost flight for me is similiar to
travel to Europe not in the summer, but the price rises quite
quickly to the $4K range. The worse rise seems to be March, but
that was also the furthest in the future.

What are the hotel costs? (I fund my own attendance)
