Come explore a country at the other end of the world! Argentina is a land of extremes, with tropical rainforests, dry deserts, high mountains, and ice fields. With Go Adventure, you can experience the beauty of mystical Patagonia, a geographical region found in the southern extremes of Chile and Argentina. It is the home of diverse cultures which include indigenous peoples, one of which is the Mapuche of Patagonia, and a Latino population that in Argentina has a strong Italian influence. Here, the Spanish is very different from the rest of South America and Spain due to its Italian influence, and the people are proud yet friendly.
This is especially true down in Patagonia, a land of open prairies, huge, snow-covered mountains, a lake district, gorgeous blue-ice glaciers...and the BEST ice cream in the world, according to Lifeschool leader Jenn Hamblen, who lives almost year-round in the town of Bariloche, Argentina, down in Patagonia. Buenos Aires also has much to offer for the urban explorer – it is considered the New York of South America.
