Student Life
Buenos Aires is best explored on foot. You can use the first weekend in the city to walk everywhere, weaving in and out of the densely populated Calle Junin street to the quiet, oak tree laden streets of the Palermo neighborhood.
- Kick your friends out of bed Sunday morning and check out market and street of the San Telmo neighborhood-the birthplace of the Tango.
- Buy top-named clothing brands on Calle Florida street at the cheap exchange rate.
- Tour the MALBA (Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires) with your new Argentina friends.
- Cook out with friends from both hemispheres during a weekend asasdo-the famous grilling event so many do, full of beef, chorizo, peppers, pico de gallo, and wine.
El Tigre River? You can do that easily on your own. What you need are off-the-beaten-path, interesting and unpublished sights to see. Below are hidden gems your Panrimo coordinator recommends seeing:
- El Ateneo is simply one of the most incredible bookstores in the world. Located on Avenida Santa Fe in a splendidly restored old theater.
- Boedo is a neighborhood that doesn’t get much attention. Boedo is important in the history of tango and literature. Be immediately welcomed into this close-knit part of the city. Several nice restaurants and cafes are in the area, too.
- Paseo del Rosedal Gardens will heighten all your senses. Depending on the season, you can smell over a million planted roses and walk carefree through flower and shrub mazes while deflecting huge busts of Jorge Luis Borges, Federico García Lorca, William Shakespeare.
- Borges Cultural Center promotes Argentina’s cultural and artistic expressions. Tango shows, art exhibits, music, dance, films, theatre, literature, and various educational programs are offered. Attend a philosophical discussion with leaders in the field, and be invited to cheese and wine tastings.
- Many more places are detailed in your orientation booklet upon acceptance into your Panrimo program.
