About Argentina:

Besides the fact that Argentina is one of the best travel values in the world, the beauty of Argentina lies in the fact that it is full of Argentines, which are arguably the most beautiful people in the world. Walking down the street is like being in the middle of a fashion show. 85% of the population is of European origin and most are descendants of Italians and Spaniards. In a country of 36 million almost one half live in the capital, Buenos Aires.





Needless to say, there is never a dull moment in Buenos Aires as the city never sleeps. It is full of a contagious energy that you can take with you at the end of your study abroad program. Here you can find a vigor for life that you will see in few other places, such as New York City, Paris or Madrid.

Argentina is probably most famous for its asados (barbecues), Tango, futbol, Borges, economic/political history and Buenos Aires.

The asados are legendary and they do live up to their expectations. Please be aware that the homemade pastas, pizza and ice cream will leave your mouth watering as well.

The Tango will captivate you and help you with insight into the culture. Whether you already know how to Tango or have no idea what it is, there are excellent places to learn.


Argentina won the World Cup in 1978 and 1986 with the help of their national icon, Diego Maradona. Maradona is often mentioned as the best soccer player ever (at least in Argentina!). It is a lot of fun to go and see a futbol game, either La Boca Juniors or River Plate, in Buenos Aires. There are other sports that abound in Argentina as well: tennis, rugby polo, trekking, skiing and golf. All of these sports are readily available or you can go to one of the countless gyms to break a sweat.

 







 


 


Jorge Luis Borges is the most renowned Argentine writer and poet having written the unsurpassable short story collection “Labyrinths” and the playful “A Universal History of Infamy”. There are other internationally accomplished authors as well. Ernesto Sabato wrote the psychological novel exploring the people and places of Buenos Aires, “On Heroes and Tombs”. Manuel Puig wrote “Kiss of the Spider Woman” and “Betrayed by Rita Hayworth” which focus on the ambiguous role of pop culture in Argentina. No list of authors is complete without Julio Cortazar and Osvaldo Soriano.

At the start of the 1900’s Argentina was one of the world’s richest countries. But even with the abundance of natural resources and a highly educated population; political corruption, rampant tax evasion and ill advised monetary policies led to a culmination at the end of 2001 when Argentina saw five presidents in two weeks.  The situation has stabilized but as a result the local peso was devalued and Argentina is now one of the best travel values in the world.

What can be said about Buenos Aires? For starters, every single person should visit this city if given the opportunity. It is nothing short of spectacular. The locals, called Portenos, are gregarious and known for their cockiness. There is little love lost within other Latin American countries for the Portenos but is it wrong to be proud of whom you are? During your program you can form your own opinions. After all everyone is envious of the best!

Buenos Aires is made up of distinct and flavorful neighborhoods, the most famous of which are La Boca, San Telmo, Palermo, Belgrano and Recoleta. The city is very walker friendly and it is easy to explore the bustling streets, tree lined avenues, classic cafes, corner bars and stylish restaurants on foot. Taxis are readily available and a bargain but to experience more of the Argentine culture the city buses and subte (subway) are very efficient and thorough.

A typical day in Argentina starts with breakfast that consists of tea or coffee and pastries or toast. Lunch is eaten around 2:00 pm and most restaurants have economical lunch menus that include a main dish, drink, coffee and dessert. At around 7:00 pm there is a snack with Mate. Mate is an herbal tea that is drank socially out of a gourd with a straw. Sharing a mate is a special expression of acceptance but for many students it is an acquired taste. Then dinner is eaten around 10:00 pm with everyone in the family together.



Argentina is located in the Southern Cone of South America and it is the 8th largest country in the world. It is bordered by Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Chile and the Atlantic Ocean. Argentina consists of plains, plateaus, mountains and the Antarctic. Argentina boasts the highest peak in the western hemisphere, Aconcagua at 6,959 meters. It also has the glaciers of southern Patagonia and Iguazu Falls in the north.
