Argentina is a popular study destination for Europeans. Its capital, Buenos Aires, is probably the most European-like city in Latin America. This nurtures the feeling of being in a safe and familiar environment with the extra flavour of passion, warmness and excitement.

The food and beverages are in world class. Spending an evening in a cosy and friendly restaurant and eating the best meat of the world and afterwards enjoying a mate is definitely a must. Vegetarians will not be disappointed either. Next on the menu could be the passionate Argentine Tango with a rose in the mouth on the side.

Many towns have many interesting features from the colonial era but what really distinguishes the country is its climate diversity. All climate types are to be found in this beautiful eighth-largest country in the world. Outdoor activities like skiing in the Andes mountains, hiking across glaciers and perhaps catching a glimpse of arctic animals, visiting the world’s most amazing waterfalls or sandboarding in the desert are just a small sample.

Clearly, Argentina has a lot to offer besides learning Spanish and it is perfectly understandable that many people consider the country a backpacker’s paradise.
