Arrive · Buenos Aires

Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP)

AEP to Recoleta or Palermo: an official taxi from the rank, 15–30 minutes across the city; the airport is inside the city, so a late landing still gets a ride.

  • South America ↗Above 2,500 m (Bogotá, Quito, Cusco, La Paz) keep the first day light; sleep lower where you can (Sacred Valley before Cusco) and descend if headache comes with vomiting or confusion.
  • South America ↗A yellow fever certificate is required on arrival in French Guiana, and asked for on some routes into Bolivia, Paraguay, Suriname and Guyana, or when arriving from Amazon areas — vaccinate at least 10 days before travel and carry the card.
  • South America ↗Overnight buses are the norm in Argentina, Chile and Peru, but pick top-tier companies and keep valuables on your body; on-board thefts from overhead racks are the common loss.
  • Argentina ↗Check entry rules for your passport with Argentina's National Migration Directorate (Migraciones) or an Argentine consulate before booking.
  • Argentina ↗Since April 2025 the official, MEP and street ('blue') dollar rates sit within a few percent of each other; a foreign card is usually the best-value way to pay, while ATM withdrawals carry high fixed fees. Rules have changed often — check before you fly.
  • Argentina ↗Patagonia (El Calafate, El Chaltén, Ushuaia) is a November–March trip; in winter many services close and hiking is limited.
  • Argentina ↗Since August 2026 non-resident foreigners must show insurance or pay for non-urgent care at nationally run public hospitals, and Buenos Aires City, Mendoza, Salta, Jujuy and Santa Cruz charge visitors for scheduled care; emergencies are still treated. Travel with medical insurance — check the current rules.
  • Buenos Aires area ↗For Colonia by ferry, carry your passport and check the ferry's check-in time and the return on your ticket.
  • Buenos Aires ↗Keep the phone out of hand and off café tables near the kerb: snatch theft from passing mopeds happens in busy areas.
  • Buenos Aires ↗Large bags go by car from door to door: never on the subte or on a walk, because of crowds and theft.

Step by step from the gate, and what to do if it breaks

Zero-brain vs precision

Daytime default
Take the taxi from the official rank outside arrivals, or a ride-hailing car from the marked pickup point, straight to the door.
Precision
AEP is on the river in the north of the city: the taxi rank is outside arrivals (field-verify). Most flights are domestic; regional flights use the same terminal.

If it breaks

  • Send your flight number and hotel name to the hotel before you fly and ask for a night-desk or key-box instructions.
  • Use the official rank or a ride-hailing pickup point; decline drivers who approach you in the hall.
  • Domestic flights often use AEP and international ones EZE: check which airport your ticket names.
  • Check the fare and keep small pesos for the driver.
