Spanish, Italian, and indigenous cultures make up the melting pot that forms Argentina’s unique heritage. Nowhere are European influences more keenly felt than in the cosmopolitan capital, Buenos Aires, your first stop. You’ll travel downtown to visit Plaza de Mayo, the city’s elegant main square. There you’ll view the Metropolitan Cathedral and Casa Rosada, Argentina’s presidential palace. Leaving Buenos Aires you’ll head to the Pampas grasslands to meet contemporary gauchos on a working ranch; and tour vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina’s bucolic wine-growing region. Finally, you’ll cross the majestic Andes into Chile, where you’ll explore the capital city of Santiago. Dartmouth College is co-sponsoring this program.
