Mente Argentina: Cooking Program +Optional Spanish Classes

Had a fantastic experience in Buenos Aires with Mente Argentina! The team is very professional and takes care of everything for you: from picking you up at the airport, providing transport & sim cards, exchanging money, making sure the apartment has everything you need, etc. I can't say enough good things about everyone at Mente! I participated in the cooking and wine programs and loved every second of it. You are enrolled in a professional cooking school with Argentine students, so it's a great way to immerse yourself in the culture! I took a variety of cooking classes, such as pastry & bread making and Argentine classic dishes (like milanesa and empanadas). The wine program is at another prestigious school, and you will learn about wine making, tasting & pairing, varieties of grapes, etc. I had the best month of my life cooking and drinking wine every day in Buenos Aires. If you're looking for an immersive experience abroad, I highly recommend checking out Mente Argentina!

I had an awesome time in Argentina, thanks to this program! They provided accommodation, cool weekly activities, Spanish classes, and cooking classes for me. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a good time in Buenos Aires.

My name’s Lorenzo. I came out here for the cooking program which was awesome. I went on a couple of tours – the graffiti tour is a good one to go on, also the La Boca tour, because you experience tango dancing and things like that. The weather is getting better – it’s winter now but a good time to come is summer or really anytime. Mente is a good program – they make sure you get everything you need, their apartments are nice. I can say I had a good experience. I’ve been out here for a month and it was a good program I chose, I’d come back again if I had the chance to.

My name is Jerry and I was in Buenos Aires for five months in addition of two months studying Spanish. I came here with very little of the language and that was what I wanted, part of the challenge. Fortunately with Mente I had great help into getting acquainted with the city, like organizing the program and making the whole process a lot easier. I cannot imagine doing that without someone here helping me, it would have been ridiculous. I recommend to everyone to having the opportunity to learn what I learned here in a very economical price compared to the United States or anywhere else in the world. It was a great experience; Buenos Aires is a beautiful place.
