LOGISTICS
Raid is not only a challenge during the 3 stages but regarding logistics, it can also be challenging since every runner is expected to organize their stay and transportation to and from the races. The following information is the most important and should be taken into account when organizing your logistics.
Where Should I Fly Into Salta o Jujuy?
Regarding Logistics it does not matter where you fly into could be either Salta or Jujuy.
Those who get to Salta will be closer to the start of the event, but once the event is over in the 3rd stage in Salinas Grandes they will have to travel back to Salta. For those who travel to Jujuy, it will be the opposite, they would have to travel to Salta for the Packet pickup and Stage 1 but at the end of the race they would be closer to the Jujuy airport.
Keep in mind that from Salinas to the Salta Airport it is a 4-hour drive.
