Bank the airplane and head south toward Argentina, a country with cowboys, llamas, fertile plains, sophisticated cities, spectacular waterfalls and towering mountains. From the rugged Andes in the west where llamas and alpacas climb gingerly amid craggy rocks, to the vast Pampas region where gauchos in wide-brim hats are found herding cattle, this second largest country in South America abounds with fascinating contrasts and vistas. Students practice geography skills while learning how the Island of Fire was named over 500 years ago. The Legend of Maldonado introduces young travelers to Argentina’s Spanish history and lore. Say “Buenos Dias” to our neighbors in the Southern Hemisphere and enjoy a colorful trip to amazing Argentina.
