Buenos Aires is the most elegant and attractive of all South American cities, one that clearly reveals the varied and heterogeneous essence of Argentinehood. Like all cosmopolitan cities it combines tradition and modernism. A noticeable European influence in its architecture and the dressing style of its people, multiculturalism depicted in every corner of the city, a daily and nightly feverish rhythm, and the well-known “porteña” hospitality are some of its main features. It is not by chance that Buenos Aires is considered “the Paris of Latin America”.

Immersion is a key factor in the learning of Spanish in Buenos Aires in general, and at CUI in particular. Contact with the language and the culture of the city and the country enhances the learning process and favors a quicker acquisition of the needed skills to interact with Argentine peers, engage in cultural activities, etc. The warmthand welcoming attitude of ‘porteños’ (the inhabitants of Buenos Aires), always ready to help tourists and foreign students, is a bonus in this process.
