Dive into a Vibrant Culture

Study abroad in Argentina and experience some of the best food, nature, and culture South America has to offer.  This amazingly biodiverse country features deserts, lakes, subtropical forests, glaciers, beaches, salt flats, the Andes Mountains, and the Iguazú Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the world. You can spend a day roaming through Bariloche’s magical myrtle forest or take a trip down to Patagonia to see penguins and sea lions lounging on the Atlantic coast. Horseback ride through a beautiful national park or kayak in the crystal clear waters of a Patagonian river. Whether you choose to hike, climb, sunbathe, or sail, the beauty of Argentina’s landscape will delight you.  When you’re not exploring the great outdoors, see for yourself how multicultural this South American country can be, especially in Buenos Aires, nicknamed “the Paris of South America.” Buenos Aires, the most visited city on the continent, has everything you could possibly want in a study and internship abroad destination: an energetic urban scene, green spaces, mouth-watering cuisine, a lively creative community, and convenient public transportation. Use it as a comfortable home base from which to discover the rest of Argentina.
