During their first week in Buenos Aires, the students dived into their journey through the bustling streets and historic landmarks.

Their first stop: Plaza de Mayo. Stepping onto the cobblestone square, surrounded by iconic buildings like the Casa Rosada, the teens soaked in the atmosphere that has witnessed countless moments of Argentina's history unfold. They were able to talk to locals, witness the grandeur of the Pirámide de Mayo and snap photos with newfound friends against the backdrop of colonial architecture.


Next on the itinerary was Caminito, a kaleidoscope of colors nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of La Boca. Here, the students wandered through narrow alleys adorned with street art and tango dancers performing passionately on street corners. The walls seemed to whisper stories of Buenos Aires' bohemian soul, giving a glimpse into the city's artistic heartbeat.


One of the most impactful moments of the week came when the students visited a local school to meet Argentine counterparts their own age. As they engaged in lively conversations about shared interests and exchanged language tips, it was clear that cultural boundaries were fading away, leading the way for meaningful connections to be made.
