Travel coordination by Language and Friendship,
educational travel company since 1988.

• Experience all that Buenos Aires has to offer at
  a fraction of the cost of a vacation with the
  chance of a lifetime!

In Argentina, the program was amazing. The
excursions in the city were a lot of fun.  My
personal favorite was making the empanadas.  My
students loved the tango shows.  It made the
tango culture alive for them!  And the family
stays were the favorite part for my students. I
am a firm believer in family stays they make the
experience more real for students. - Spanish

Why Argentina?

• Start free associating on the word Argentina,
  and its quickly apparent why the country has
  long held travelers in awe tango, beef, gauchos,
  fútbol, Patagonia, the Andes. The classics alone
  make a formidable wanderlust cocktail. Lonely

What youll see in Buenos Aires
La Plaza del Congreso
La Pirámide de Mayo

• Mix together a beautiful European-like city with
  attractive residents (call them porteños),
  gourmet cuisine, awesome shopping, a frenzied
  nightlife and top-drawer activities, and you get
  Buenos Aires, a cosmopolitan metropolis with both
  slick neighborhoods and equally downtrodden areas
  but thats part of the appeal. Its an elegant,
  seductive place with a ragged edge, laced with
  old-world languor and yet full of contemporary
  attitude. BA is somehow strangely familiar, but
  unlike any other city in the world. Lonely
  Planet Guide, Argentina

La Casa Rosada
La Recoleta
