There is one excursion included in the Semester in Argentina program. There are a few different options for this, but the onsite team usually chooses from one of these options: Tigre, the Venice of Argentina; an overnight trip to a traditional Estancia; or a trip to Mataderos.
There is also the opportunity to go to Iguazu Falls on an add-on trip. Let your program coordinator know if you are interested. Throughout the program there are also many meetups and social gatherings in which you might meet the Site Director for coffee, take Tango lessons, visit a museum, or go to her house for dinner. If there is something you’d really like to do, please ask and we will try to accommodate you!
Argentina is a very large and beautiful country. You will more than likely want to take some independent trips with a group of friends to different parts of Argentina. We definitely encourage you to do so, but please let the Site Director know where you are going, how long you will be there, and when you plan to return. A few popular places to visit are: Tierra del Fuego, the farthest southern point in Argentina; wine country in Mendoza; and Iguazu Falls.
