In this work we will focus on some key moments and actions that were important for Einstein´s trip to Argentina. We will also mention the connections, written references and academic contacts that took place -or not- among the main scientific actors -local or foreign- involved in the introduction of relativistic ideas and knowledge in our country during the first decades of the twentieth century.
