Buenos Aires City

As part of the study-tour, we will have a chance to learn more about a foreign country’s history, culture and an opportunity to visit tourist attractions. Below are some pictures of Clemson University and Auburn University students who visited Argentina in March 2009.

We can see the March 2009 students in downtown Buenos Aires with the Obelisk (a prominent landmark in Buenos Aires). The students were Julia Darby, Caroline Davis, Sterling Davis, Owen Edwards, Maggie Harrelson, Callahan Parrish, Christopher Prevatt, Charles Rogers and Clayton Usery. Professors Todd Davis and Walt Prevatt were in charge of the agribusiness seminar.

As we will be staying in downtown Buenos Aires, we will have the chance to observe different important buildings and monuments. Buenos Aires is almost five hundred years old and has many colonial buildings and monuments still standing.  The Casa Rosada is where the President executes the law.

The first day in Buenos Aires includes checking in at a four-star hotel in downtown and a welcome lunch in Puerto Madero at a restaurant famous for the grilled beef.  After walking around Puerto Madero, we will visit the San Telmo neighborhood in the southern part of the city. This neighborhood is one of the oldest in the city and has a unique atmosphere. San Telmo, for instance hosts the largest antiques market in the world.

However, we will do more than work while in Buenos Aires. We will enjoy one of the newest Tango Shows in the city while having a four-course dinner.  We will enjoy a tango show and a four-course dinner at La Esquina del Tango.  Puerto Madero used to be the old port of Buenos Aires and the remaining docks are filled with the best worldwide cuisine.
