If you’ve got a layover in Las Heras, don’t let it go to waste sitting at LHS. The city, in Argentina, is within easy reach — roughly 30 minutes by local transport. Whether you have four hours or twelve, here’s how to make your stopover count.
Before You Step Outside LHS
Three things to verify before you walk out of LHS:
- Can you legally enter Argentina? Some nationalities need a visa even for a few hours. Check your passport’s validity too.
- Do you have enough time? With a 30-minute journey each way by local transport, you’ll want at least 5-6 hours total to make the trip worthwhile.
- How will you pay? Local currency is the local currency. Cards are widely accepted in most places, but carrying some the local currency in cash is a good idea for smaller vendors.
