Argentina: Cultural Adventure, Service, and the Great Outdoors

Bienvenidos a Argentina.

A participant repairs a door in Argentina With a unique combination of rugged natural beauty, European colonial architecture, and passionate South American rhythm, Argentina is a country to be savored. Spend four fascinating weeks discovering Buenos Aires, trekking through rural Argentina, and practicing your Spanish language skills as you live and work with your new Argentinean family and friends.

Orientation in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires group Called "The Paris of South America" for its rich cultural heritage and thriving street life, Buenos Aires is a perfect introduction to Argentina and its people. For four days, you and your group walk the wide boulevards, take in the ornate rococo buildings, and practice your Spanish in the city’s many restaurants, theaters, cabarets, and art galleries. To top off your experience, you sail by catamaran to the surrounding islands to learn about the unique delta biosystem and the region’s flora and fauna.
