Argentina, boasting the second largest economy in South America, offers internship opportunities in career fields like business, education, journalism, marketing, and tourism. Thanks to an abundance of natural resources, a high export rate in the agricultural sector, and a strong industrial base, Argentina is an upper middle-income economy and a member of the G-20 forum for governments and central banks. With a wide range of economic sectors and a capital that ranks as the 13th largest economy amongst the world’s cities, Argentina is an ideal Latin American destination for students wanting an internship experience in the region.
When you’re not helping your host organization, take advantage of all the outdoor adventure Argentina has to offer. This amazingly biodiverse country features deserts, lakes, subtropical forests, glaciers, beaches, salt flats, the Andes Mountains, and the Iguazú Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the world. You can spend a day roaming through Bariloche’s magical myrtle forest or take a trip down to Patagonia to see penguins and sea lions lounging on the Atlantic coast. Horseback ride through a beautiful national park or kayak in the crystal clear waters of a Patagonian river. Whether you choose to hike, climb, sunbathe, or sail, the beauty of Argentina’s landscape will delight you.
When you’re not exploring the great outdoors, see for yourself how multicultural this South American country can be, especially in Buenos Aires, nicknamed “the Paris of South America.” Buenos, the most visited city on the continent, has everything you could possibly want in an internship abroad destination: an energetic urban scene, green spaces, mouth-watering cuisine, a lively creative community, and excellent public transportation. Use it as a comfortable home base from which to discover the rest of Argentina.
