The Spanish & Tango course is ideal for tango lovers since they will get to identify themselves with the locals who feel that tango is not just a dance, but a way of life. This program includes 20 group lessons of general Spanish and 8 tango classes per week. The tango classes run 2 hr/day Tuesday - Friday. Additionally, Buenos Aires offers plenty of tango shows and real-life opportunities to dance at popular milonga bars and traditional tango bars. All levels are admitted and a minimum course length of one week is required.
With a population of nearly 11 million, Buenos Aires is surprisingly safe and clean. Possessing wide boulevards, an active nightlife, many restaurants and plenty of shopping, this cosmopolitan city has a strong European flavor and an endless variety of things to do. However, Buenos Aires can be an expensive city and budget travelers should be prepared.
Argentina is the second largest country in South America and borders Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and Paraguay. With an enormously varied climate, travelers can visit sub-Antarctic rainforests, tropical jungles, mountains, beaches, desert red canyons and awesome waterfalls. The bus system is one of the best in the world, offering movies, meals, and comfortable service to all areas. The population mix, as in Chile and Uruguay, is very different from the rest of Latin America because the population is almost all European. Most of the indigenous people were wiped out in wars during the 19th century.
