For International Patients

Traveling to Buenos Aires
for fertility treatment

Buenos Aires is one of the world’s most accessible medical travel destinations — with direct flights from major hubs, English-speaking medical staff, and a city that makes it easy to combine treatment with a meaningful stay.

Egg donation

Recipient transfer trip

1–2 days in Buenos Aires

The endometrial preparation is done with medications from home. You only need to fly in for the transfer itself — and can fly home the next day.

IVF / ICSI

Own eggs — fresh cycle

10–14 days in Buenos Aires

The endometrial preparation is done with medications from home. You only need to fly in for the transfer itself — and can fly home the next day.

Frozen embryo transfer

FET — previously vitrified embryos

2–3 days in Buenos Aires

If you already have embryos vitrified at CEGYR, you only need to return for the transfer. Preparation is done remotely with oral medications.

Getting to Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is served by two airports: Ezeiza (EZE) for international flights and Aeroparque (AEP) for regional connections. Most international patients arrive at Ezeiza, approximately 40 minutes from downtown by taxi or ride-share.

Direct flights operate from major cities including Miami, New York (JFK), Madrid, London (via connecting), Rome, Tel Aviv, and São Paulo. Flight times from the US East Coast are typically 10–11 hours.

Where to stay

CEGYR is located at Viamonte 1432, in the heart of downtown Buenos Aires, steps from the Teatro Colón and Recoleta. The surrounding area — including the neighborhoods of Centro, San Nicolás, and Recoleta — has a wide range of accommodation options at all price points.

Many international patients choose to stay within walking distance of the clinic. Recoleta and Palermo are particularly recommended for their restaurants, parks, and walkability.

  • We provide a written treatment calendar with your scheduled monitoring dates before you book flights.
  • Visa: most nationalities do not need one for stays under 90 days.

Buenos Aires as a destination

Many international patients tell us that traveling to Buenos Aires for treatment turned out to be less stressful — and more meaningful — than expected. The city is cosmopolitan, walkable, culturally rich, and has an established tradition of warmth toward visitors.

Whether you come alone, with a partner, or with family, Buenos Aires offers excellent food, tango, world-class museums, architecture, and neighborhoods to explore. For many patients, the time between monitoring appointments becomes a way to connect with a new city during what can be an emotionally intense period.

The team at CEGYR is experienced with international patients and can help coordinate recommendations for accommodation, transportation, and local services.
