“If you really want to get a feel for the rhythm of Argentinean culture, you need to experience tango. Whether you attend a formal tango show or a performance on the street, you will find the dances to be captivating,� - Eric Schueller, Admissions Supervisor
“When I lived in Buenos Aires, I really enjoyed Sunday afternoons at San Telmo open air market. Local musicians and actors flourish throughout the market, in addition to the ubiquitous tango dancers. Recoleta and Palermo also have great weekend craft markets to explore as well,� - Chris Kjonaas, Associate Regional Consultant - West
“A must see when visiting Buenos Aires is the quaint town of La Boca! Rooted in deep soccer tradition and unwavering fans, La Boca also offers shopping, food, people watching and colorful buildings. According to this town’s story, ships would dock and sailors would trade paint with the locals for supplies.The locals then painted their houses with whatever color tint was on hand – leading to one of the most colorful villages around,” - Kathleen Ellwood, Director of University Relations – East
