¡Vamos a Argentina!

Program Overview

UNCW students will study the culture of Buenos Aires through its writers, painters, and musicians on this program. The online spring course prepares you for your two-week travel experience after classes end in May. Activities include visits to world-class museums, live musical events, open-air markets, a gaucho ranch, and historic cafés, to name a few, plus a day trip to Colonia, Uruguay. Stay in a hotel in Recoleta, the best neighborhood for shopping and exploration in your free time.

Location & Program Features

Buenos Aires, Argentina is a world capital known as the “Paris of South America” because of its art, architecture, cafés, and distinctly European feel. It is composed of 48 districts or barrios, each with its own personality. The ones we will visit are: Microcentro (downtown), home of the Presidential Palace, the Cathedral, and other historic landmarks; San Telmo, known for its colonial style houses and cobblestone streets; La Boca, a colorful neighborhood along the river; Palermo, a hip residential barrio with lots of small parks, restaurants and bars; and our home base Recoleta, the most chic neighborhood with its French-style architecture, large parks, excellent restaurants, and extensive cultural offerings.
