Specific Program Details
Information about Cordoba, Argentina (Click to view)
Virtually undiscovered by North American tourists, this city has a little of everything for visitors. Founded in 1573, Cordoba boasts many colonial style cathedrals and buildings. Like many other cities in Latin America built by the Spanish, the city was designed using a grid system and is void of intimidating skyscrapers making it easy to navigate despite its size (population 1.5 million). Cordoba is alive with a university town feel, offering many cultural activities and an active nightlife while still being one of Argentina’s most important industrial centers.
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.
Participants: Anyone who wants to discover a Latin American country but can't decide between classes, volunteering or just traveling. This special program allows you to do it all. We have designed this program to be open without restrictions. This means that you are able to participate regardless of your Spanish level, educational history or professional background. The only requirement is that participants must be at least 18 years old.
Other: This program is also available in Costa Rica and Guatemala.
