Gap Year Programs in Argentina

If you’re traveling all that way, you might as well make sure you visit the best spots! Here are our top recommended places for gap year programs in Argentina.

Buenos Aires. Considered ‘one of the world’s most addictive cities’, Buenos Aires is the perfect place to start your gap year in Argentina. Spend your days working alongside local teachers to help educate and care for the local children, take tango classes in the evenings, eat delicious steak (you are in Argentina after all!), indulge in local wine and enjoy the amazing nightlife. When you feel like taking a breath of fresh air, take the train to Tigre and explore the delta or relax in the Botanical Gardens, visit the Museum of Fine Arts, the Recoleta Cemetery or the La Casa Rosada for a cultural and historical weekend, or relax and practice your Spanish conversational skills with a coffee and some dulce de leche, while you’re watching the ferocious tango street dancers. 

Cordoba. This city, nominated once as the “Cultural Capital of America,” offers a perfect mix of traditional culture and vibrant youthful spirit. Some might dare to say that it gives Paris a run for its romance. Due to its major income differences, Cordoba offers plenty of volunteer opportunities, such as teaching English, helping develop the childcare and health care system, or spending your days coaching football to the local community. You’ll fall in love with history after your visit to the unforgettable Cathedral of Cordoba, the Patio de los Naranjos, and the breath-taking royal Alcazar de los Reyes Cristianos—an old visigothic fortress. What does visigothic even mean? You’ll no doubt find out while on gap year programs in Argentina.
