Work and Travel in Argentina: about the country I'm going to

Interestingly, Argentina got its name from the Latin word for silver — ‘argentum’. It was silver that the Spaniards were searching for in this new land. For many, Argentina is associated with football and Buenos Aires — a city ‘with a taste of tango’, the most ‘European’ city in the Americas. But it is also a country of unique natural beauty.
There are the mountains of Patagonia (it was from these places that the enthralling round-the-world voyage of the two-masted yacht ‘Duncan’ began in search of Captain Grant along the 37th parallel). And Ischigualasto Park, called the Argentinian Moon Valley. And the famous Valdés Peninsula. The city of Córdoba, where the program participants study and work, is Argentina’s second-largest city, with a population of 1.2 million people.

Streets with the subtle, sweet aftertaste of memories, streets where the memory of the future called hope wanders, inseparable, indelible streets of my love.
