Work and Stay in Argentina: Destination

Interestingly, Argentina got its name from the Latin word for silver — argentum. It was that metal the Spaniards were seeking in this new land. For many, Argentina is associated with football and Buenos Aires — a city with a tango flavor, the most ‘European’ city in the Americas. But it’s also a country of unique natural beauty.
Here you’ll find the mountains of Patagonia — it’s from these parts that the crew of the two-masted yacht Duncan set off on their thrilling round-the-world voyage in search of Captain Grant along the 37th parallel. There’s also Ischigualasto Park, known as Argentina’s ‘Moon Valley’, and the famous Valdés Peninsula. The city of Buenos Aires, where program participants work, is Argentina’s largest city by population, with 2.9 million people.

Streets with a faint, sweet tang of memory, streets where the memory of the future, called Hope, wanders — inseparable, indelible streets of my love.
