Buenos Aires

2012-13 Term 1

Combining the best of local cuisine (like the empanada) and culture (like the tango) with the best of European architecture, Buenos Aires lives up to its billing as “The Paris of South America.” It’s also the gateway to Argentina’s geological wonders, which run from the continental spine of the Andes to the polar fingertips of the Tierra del Fuego.

Porteños love great books, great parties, and great coffee, all of which combine in November’s Night of the Museums holiday, when major art galleries, libraries, and theaters stay open until sunrise. Just what our teenagers have been waiting for: a perfect educational excuse to stay up all night.
