Location

Argentina is a nation of contrasts with landscapes ranging from lush, tropical forests to the frigid ice fields of the Antarctic. The beaches of the Atlantic coast roll onto the flat, verdant pampas that stretch westward and dry out, eventually colliding with the majestic Andes Mountains.

With 1.1 million inhabitants, Rosario has an alluring cosmopolitan feels, supporting theaters, art museums, historical mansions, national monuments, and two professional soccer teams. Located 200 miles upriver from Buenos Aires on the Paraná River, the city has a rich history influenced by European ancestry in a uniquely South American way–giving the busy city center a flavorful charm evident in its language, style, and cuisine.

Students will enjoy Rosario's compactness, with its closed-off streets and easy access to the waterfront. Argentines swim and surf at Mar del Plata, explore Iquazú Falls, backpack Patagonia, ski San Carlos de Bariloche, and windsurf and kayak on the Paraná River.

Weather in Argentina is generally mild, although because the country is nearly 2,300 miles long, the far north is nearly tropical and the far south nearly arctic.

The Program Site

Students in the AHA program take their language and other courses in the AHA Center, a beautiful, historic building, which is located half a block from the Law School of the Universidad Nacional de Rosario.
