Mention Argentina and people think of solitary gauchos, sultry tango dancers, or maybe Madonna as Evita. While Argentina continues to be one of the world's most popular tourist destinations, your study abroad experience will give you the true flavor of this intriguing country. Europe's influence is strong in Argentina, from urban Buenos Aires to the nation's passion for soccer. Yet you'll find Argentina has a vigorous identity of its own, fostering a sophisticated citizenry that places high values on culture, tradition, and hospitality. You'll find plenty to explore in Argentina, from first-rate museums, galleries, theatres, 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 titanic 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 (green tea) with friends. You might also take a liking to the country's homegrown rock music, grooving to icons like Charly Garcia, Fito Paéz, and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs. | |
