About
The elegance of Europe and the spirit of South America live side by side in Buenos Aires. Founded by immigrants along the shores of the Rio de la Plata, Buenos Aires built its identity on Spanish, Italian, and French influences, which are reflected in the grand boulevards, expansive parks, and magnificent architecture throughout the city. While exploring the city's diverse and ecclectic neighborhoods, you can visit the small colored houses of La Boca and experience the popular tango that lives in San Telmo streets. Nearly 40 percent of the Argentine population lives in the capital, making this "Paris of the Americas" a city of more than 15 million.
The program is offered jointly by the Fundación José Ortega y Gasset and the Learning Abroad Center. Located in central Buenos Aires, the Fundación is conveniently located near shops, restaurants, public transportation, and sites of cultural and historic interest, making it easy for you to take in everything this dynamic city has to offer. Experienced and dedicated faculty bring a wealth of expertise and local perspectives into the classroom. The program provides several guided excursions meant to enhance your knowlege of Buenos Aires and surrounding communities.
For help deciding between Spanish language options, consult the Spanish Language Programs Comparison Chart (PDF).
Program Model
Housing & Meals
Apart-Hotel
You may live in shared apartment-hotel style housing. Apartments are fully furnished, include cooking facilities and are conveniently located within a short walking distance of the classroom building. Breakfast is included at the apartments each day. You will be responsible for providing lunches and dinners throughout the program. There is a staffed front desk.
Homestay
You may choose to live with a local host family. Many students cite this as one of the highlights of their experience, since it offers you a unique opportunity to connect with the culture, practice your Spanish, and observe daily life in Argentina.
Most families have hosted students in the past and are committed to helping ease your transition into city life. Host family homes are scattered throughout the city, and typical commute times range from 30–60 minutes, including some combination of public transportation (bus, subway) and walking.
As in the US, families in Argentina are diverse and vary greatly in terms of the composition and ages of family members. In your application, you can express some basic preferences about the type of host family you would like. About half of families are able to accommodate two or more students, so you may be placed with another student from the program.
Meals
Apartment-hotel: Breakfast is included each day. You are responsible for providing lunch and dinner.
Homestay: Families will provide you with breakfast and dinner each day as part of the program. You will be responsible for providing your own lunch. There are several inexpensive places to eat near the classroom building.
Excursions
Several planned excursions are included in the cost of the program. These tours and day trips show the city and country's historical and cultural highlights. Excursions are subject to change each term. Previous destinations have included:
Buenos Aires city tour
3-hour guided tour of Buenos Aires
Tigre
Half-day tour to Tigre, a town just 17 miles north of Buenos Aires on the Tigre River delta. Take a boat ride, visit the artisan market, and have free time to explore the city.
Lujan
Full-day excursion to this city of pilgrimage within the province of Buenos Aires. Visit the Bascilica of Lujan, home to the Virgin of Lujan, the patroness of Argentina, as well as the central square. Visit the estancia that was home to famous Argentine writer Esteban Echeverría when he was fleeing the dictatorship of Juan Manuael de Rosas.
Areco
Full-day excursion to this traditional Argentine town just a few hours outside of Buenos Aires. Tour an estancia (ranch), enjoy asado (Argentine barbeque), and watch traditional dancing as well as gauchos on horseback performing traditional competitions and games. Visit San Antonia de Areco and tour the site of the Día de la Tradición festivities, which take place each November.
Colonia, Uruguay
Overnight excursion. Cross the Rio de la Plata by ferry and explore this historic, picturesque town. The excursion includes a city tour, breakfast, lunch, a cultural scavenger hunt and accommodation at a local hotel.
Flight
The Learning Abroad Center works with Village Travel, a local travel agency, to arrange a coordinated flight for program participants. The flight is optional, and is arranged for those who want to fly with other program participants. Group flight information is typically available by the program application deadline, if not before.
Ground transportation from the Ministro Pistarini International Airport (airport code: EZE) into Buenos Aires is provided by our partner organization and the cost is included in the program fee. The transportation schedule aligns with the group flight arrival time. Our partner organization comes to the airport once to collect everyone.
Therefore, you can either book a ticket on the coordinated group flight, or book a flight independently that arrives prior to the group flight's arrival. If you arrive late and miss the group, you may be responsible for arranging and paying for your own transportation into the city.
For immigration purposes, you should purchase a round-trip ticket, since you must be able to show your entry and exit dates from Argentina.
