Study abroad Buenos Aires overview - Argentina's largest city, Buenos Aires is situated in front of Rio de la Plata. With nearly 13 million residents, this city is surprisingly safe and clean.

Buenos Aires is also known for its active nightlife boasting several bars and cafes constantly hosting live jazz music or tango performances.
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.
