This is a great program for all-around immersion in Argentine culture and Spanish language learning. I took Spanish classes, lived with a local host family, did all of the guided excursions, and made new friends. The program offers so much, I suggest you don't miss out on it.
I learned lots of things, improved my spanish, made lasting friends, and created great memories. I did all kinds of things such as going to museums, farms, and performances. I tried so many new foods and drinks some of them I liked some of them I didn't, but at least I can say I tried them.
