12-Day Program | Student group Spanish language immersion begins in “the Paris of South America,” the bustling coastal city of Buenos Aires! Students experience the sights, sounds and culture of Buenos Aires through a panoramic bus tour and attending a live tango show. They visit an Argentinian ranch for a traditional asado barbeque. ¡Qué delicioso! The cultural immersion in Latin America continues as you make your way to the colonial and scenic city of Córdoba, where students meet their host families! Our unforgettable Family Stay Experience® allows students to become temporary locals and appreciate the everyday Argentinian lifestyle. They practice what they learn in Spanish class with their host family over meals and time spent together!* Spanish language skills come to life in this unique language immersion experience.
*If the family stay falls over the weekend (Saturday/Sunday), time with host families will be prioritized for maximum cultural immersion, versus organized group activities as indicated on the itinerary.
All travel dates are tentative, pending teacher approval and airline confirmation.

The Family Stay Experience®
We believe that spending time with a family, speaking their language and participating in their customs is the best and most authentic way to experience another culture. It’s also what makes our programs different from any other travel experience. After 50 years of arranging family stays, we’re no longer surprised when our participants say that spending time with a family was the best part of their experience!
