Real Gap's Argentina Highlights


The city of Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is one of South America's Great Urban Centres. All of our Argentina Programmes are based in and around Buenos Aires, so you can explore the cities magical sights at your leisure!

The city's rich cultural heritage makes Buenos Aires one of the best places in South America to Learn Spanish. You could spend some time teaching Argentinian children English on the Teaching English in Buenos Aires project and give the children a real chance to succeed through your creative teaching.

Alternatively why not spend some time making a difference to underprivileged children in Buenos Aires on our Youth Outreach Programme and begin to break the cycle of poverty.

Sights of Buenos Aires
There are countless things to see and do in Argentina including San Telmo, el Teatro Colon, La Casa Rosada, Plaza de Mayo. A tour of the Colon Theatre (el Teatro Colon) is a must, this theatre is considered to be one of the best in the world with stunning acoustics and breath-taking architecture.

Cordoba
This region is about 800 km from the capital Buenos Aires, it is known its for it's rugged scenery. Mountains, rivers, lakes, forest, you can find everything in Cordoba. Surrounded by nature you will also find famous villages like for example Villa Carlos Paz, Mina Clavero, Villa General Belgrano and San Marcos Sierra.
