Because your account is not in Latin America.

Local keys are for local activation.

Get a refund from the place you bought it from or learn your lesson. Depending on the what the message says the key could either have been already used or region locked, nothing you can do either way.

Go back to the country you bought it from, activate it on your account and then get a plane home and wait 3 months for the regional restriction to lift.

Either that or suck up a loss. You can only activate keys in the applicable region and those that are restricted upon activation then have timed restrictions in play. As you're not in the country the key is from right now, you cannot activate it.

I am still in buenos aires
Then your store page must meet the location and requirement you can read in the faq about store location,
to activate the key.

This means more expenses than the money invested in the game. Go and buy a new key from the store, it's that simple. lol

Is your Steam Account set to Argentina? No?
Then the key will not activate, even if you are in Buenos Aires.
