Argentina's National Directorate of Migration (DNM) this week made official the requirements for tourists and border residents to enter the country, due to the drop in protocols such as the requirement for vaccination against Covid-19 or a negative RT-PCR test for the new coronavirus.
Update - 26/8/2022:
Argentina eliminates declaration requirement to enter the country
According to the statement available on the institution's website (click here to read the original in Spanish), the Safe Corridors system, implemented in 2021, was eliminated by the country's government, which determined the reopening of border points that remained closed and the return to pre-pandemic requirements.
The Tancredo Neves Bridge, between Foz do Iguaçu and Puerto Iguazú, is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with the following requirements:
Health requirements
If the goal is just to take a trip to the Argentine border city and return the same day, there are no health requirements. Negative COVID-19 tests or a vaccination certificate are no longer part of the protocol.
If the stay is longer than 24 hours or if the intention is to travel to other destinations in the country, you need to fill out an affidavit (available here) and take out international health insurance, with coverage for hospitalization, isolation or medical transport services in Argentine territorysystem.

Documentation
For Brazilian tourists and border residents, all that is required is an original ID or valid passport. Minors must be accompanied by both parents. If one of the guardians is absent, written authorization is required. Since photo identification is mandatory, even babies need an ID.
Argentines
Argentine citizens who intend to stay in the country for less than 24 hours must only carry identification documents. If the stay is longer than this period, however, it is mandatory to complete the affidavit (available here), at most two days before the tripsystem. (revoked on 26/8/2022, click here to learn more)
