Join this adventure travel program for students completing grades 9 – 12! Travel to the southern tip of the Americas to ski in rugged Patagonia and immerse yourself in local culture. Begin in Argentina's capital city of Buenos Aires, sampling slow-cooked beef asado and listening to the beats and rhythms of a live tango orchestra. Then, visit a traditional ranch outside the city to learn about the history of the gaucho culture. 

Next, travel to the mountain town of El Calafate in the heart of Patagonia and view the Perito Moreno Glacier, the world's only advancing glacier. Board a boat to see calving ice cascade from the glacier into Lake Argentino. 

Spend your last week in Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city, skiing the powdery trails by day and sipping hot chocolate by the fire at night. Trace the journey of early explorers on a boat cruise through the Beagle Canal and hike in the Tierra del Fuego National Park, looking for guanacos and pumas.
