Patagonia (Argentina) Summer Travel Programs for High School Students

At the southern tip of South America, Patagonia is a region of towering granite peaks, glaciers, and grasslands. Shared by Argentina and Chile, the region stretches from teh Andes toward the southern oceans, encompassing some of the continent’s most dramatic (and iconic) landscapes. During the Northern Hemisphere summer, winter transforms Argentine Patagonia into a destination for skiing, snowboarding, and snow-covered mountain exploration. Near El Chaltén, the jagged summits of Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre rise above glacial valleys, while Perito Moreno Glacier reveals the extraordinary scale and movement of ancient ice. Farther south, Ushuaia sits between the mountains and the Beagle Channel. For students drawn to outdoor adventure, Patagonia offers opportunities to explore wild landscapes, discover Argentine culture, and experience winter in the middle of their summer vacation.
