Visitors can get COVID test for Free in Buenos Aires
I visited one of Buenos Aires' free testing sites for COVID, these are run by the Buenos Aires City Government. They confirmed that non resident visitors (of any nationality) are also eligible for the free testing - all that is required is that you are at least 3 years of age and have proof of identification (passport, drivers license, etc.). Test results are sent by WhatsApp and/or email.

Antigen tests come back within 3-4 hours of testing. If you get a PCR, those take between 24-36 hours.

This link takes you to a list of testing sites run by the City of Buenos Aires:
lugares de testeo covid gobierno de la ciudad - Bing For visitors, I think that the Center in La Rural (Palermo) is the best and most conveniently located. Normally tests are drive-thru, but you can also go there on foot or with a Taxi / Uber. |
Is it true, that even fully vaccinated foreign tourists visiting Argentina have to take PCR test 5-7 days after arrival in the country? I read it in my local country embassy of Argentina that it is required by ARG laws but here I read couple of posts from people from Argentina that said, that this requirements is cancelled and no other test after arrival is required.
Does anybody have more information about that? |

Thank you very much. Is there any official source to confirm this? I need for my hiking group so we can establish a plan for the trip and to make everybody sure.

Anybody know if these free testing sites are still running? Considering booking a trip for late April and would be interested to know if this might remain an option for testing prior to returning to US. Or is there testing available at EZE?

There is also a similar testing facility at AEP, for 4000 pesos each person.
