Entry Requirements
A valid passport is required for US and
Canadian citizens to enter Argentina. In
addition, you will be issued a tourist card by the
airline prior to landing which you must keep in
your passport at all times. This is generally
true for citizens of other Latin American and
European countries. All foreign students who
come to Argentina to study should check on
entry requirements. No special vaccinations
are necessary to enter Argentina.
Climate
Argentina's climate varies by region. Located in
the heart of the Pampas along the shores of the
Río de la Plata, Buenos Aires enjoys a fairly dry
climate. The summer months (December
through March) can be very hot and humid,
with temperatures in the 80s and 90s.
