Detailed Itinerary and Statement of Costs

Top Four Reasons to go on this Janterm:

Improve Your Spanish. Help fulfill your AC language competency, or improve your skills, not matter what your level. This course is for students of all levels—beginning, intermediate, and advanced (even native speakers). Live with great families in Buenos Aires. Get to know the Argentine culture “from the inside.”

Iguazú Falls. The Iguazú Falls on the border between Brazil and Argentina are much bigger than Niagara. They are actually 275 individual cascades strung out along the rim of a crescent-shaped cliff about 4 miles long, and they plummet up to 269 feet into the gorge bellow. The excursion will lead you to the San Ignacio Ruins (backdrop for the movie The Mission) and the Wanda Mines.

Buenos Aires. Take classes in the mornings, and in the afternoons, experience world-class museums, talk politics in a traditional café, visit Evita’s tomb in la Recoleta, wander around La Boca, take Tango lessons, see an Argentine football match, eat empanadas, or go shopping. In the evenings, interact with your host family.

Patagonian Glaciers. Have you ever hiked on a glacier? Have you ever seen icebergs crash into the ocean? Visiting the Moreno Glacier at the southern tip of the world is both an auditory and visual experience, as huge icebergs fall into Iceberg Channel.

Only Spanish 101 is required.
