Answer 2
The amount is currently US$160. I recommend that you take care of it online before you leave, as it's not guaranteed that you'll be able to pay at immigration:
- At the land crossing between Santiago and Mendoza, you can pay the reciprocity fee at the border with cash or any major credit card. But of course, this depends on their payment system being operational (source: personal experience).
- If you fly into Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), you will not be able to pay the reciprocity fee upon arrival! A friend of mine almost got denied entry because of this, but thanks to some (very expensive) international roaming, he was able to pay the fee online while he was waiting at the immigration booth (source: friend's experience)!
When you pay the fee, you will get a receipt that is valid for 10 years, so make sure you keep track of it!

The US$160 rate was set by Regulation 903/2014. From The Embassy of Argentina in United States of America:
