    Before you ask

    Frequently Asked Questions

    When is the best time for this choir tour?

    March to May and September to November, the southern autumn and spring, are the most comfortable months in Buenos Aires. Our Lady of Luján is honored on May 8, and the great youth pilgrimage to Luján walks from Buenos Aires on the first weekend of October, both worth knowing when you choose your dates. Tell us the window you have in mind and we set the dates with the venues.

    How physically demanding is this pilgrimage?

    Moderate. Most days involve two to four hours on your feet, with walking on uneven ground, ancient stone, and steps at archaeological sites. Pilgrims who can manage a full day of sightseeing at their own pace do well. If anyone in your group has mobility limitations, tell us early and we will adapt the days around them. What activity level means.

    What is generally not included?

    Travel insurance, lunches, drinks beyond those served with included meals, personal expenses, and gratuities for your tour manager and driver. Any of these can be built into your package on request, so tell us what you would like covered and we will arrange it. Passports and visa fees are the one exception and remain the responsibility of each pilgrim.

    Do I need a passport or visa for Argentina?

    A US passport valid for the length of your stay is required, and we recommend six months beyond your return date. US citizens do not need a visa for a tourist stay of this length. Requirements change from time to time, so we confirm what applies with your group before you travel.

    Can our priest celebrate Mass at the churches?

    Yes. Daily Mass is built into the itinerary, and we arrange times and locations in advance with each church. Your priest should travel with a celebret or letter of good standing from his bishop or superior. We handle the scheduling.

    How many pilgrims do you need for a group?

    Most of our groups are between 20 and 50 pilgrims, and we can arrange smaller tours as well. We have also organized pilgrimages for groups as large as 2,500, so whatever size your group turns out to be, we can build for it. Minimum group size for a group flight.
