About Argentina
Mention Argentina and people think of gauchos, sultry tango dancers, or maybe Evita—but there’s more, from first-rate museums, galleries, theaters, and architecture to stunning natural wonders and a variety of landscapes that you will not find anywhere else.
The nation’s territorial sweep ranges from Iguazú Falls in the steamy northeastern rainforest, to glacier-topped mountains and penguin colonies in the south, to the world-famous broad and fertile plains of the Pampas. Sophisticated and lively Buenos Aires will keep you moving, whether you find yourself strolling down the Avenida 9 de Julio, one of the widest streets in the world; taking in an opera at the world-renowned Teatro Colón; or sipping mate (a kind of green tea) with friends. You might also take a liking to the country’s homegrown rock music, grooving to icons like Charly Garcia, Fito Paez, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and Soda Stereo.
Europe’s influence is strong in Argentina, yet you’ll find Argentina has a vigorous identity of its own, placing high values on culture, tradition, and hospitality. AFS Argentina has the capacity to place some students in neighboring Uruguay.
