Yes, for destination we can use both a and para; they are interchangeable. However with verb "llegar" (arrive, at a destination) it wouldn't accept "para", only "a".

"El tren llegó a tiempo a su destino" (not para)

« Hi, I was wondering if there is a change if you say, "there was" "There were,"When por is followed by a verb, can I also use para instead? »
