Argentina
Argentina, the second largest country in South America, and is the eighth largest in the world by land area. The climate is one of the most diverse in the world which varies from sub-tropical temperatures in the Patagonian desert to sub-zero temperatures along Cape Horn - one of the world’s most southerly cities, Ushuaia, and the Americas' highest peak, Aconcagua in the Andes to the West of the country.
Despite earning headline fame for its economic and political upheavals, Argentina is not to be missed. It's one of South America's most charismatic and passionate countries, and for many visitors the devaluation of the Argentine peso just means even more for your money. Sport plays a huge role in Argentinean society, and those who visit this energetic land will soon start to embrace this sport mad culture.

Fab way to start my week, our guide was awesome and gave us so many tips. Met an amazing group of people and the team in the office really help you sort your time out after you've finished the first week. Would really recommend to solo travellers.Emma Lowton , Adventure, New Zealand -
On arrival, I felt as unprepared as can be, knowing no one, having no plans nor ideas of how to get along in New Zealand really. The in-country team did it all for me. Organise my trip. Booking it. Coming from experienced backpackers you know what's going on and getting to know awesome people from all around the world and maybe even some mates to travel with.Sean Neitzel , Adventure, New Zealand -
Had the best time travelling around New Zealand. The team made it possible and can sort everything out for you with no problem. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be using them for my next adventure.Annie Frances Pritchard , Adventure, New Zealand -
The opportunity to coach and nurture the next generation of sportsmen and women in Costa Rica was an opportunity that I couldn't give up, and I am so glad that I didn't! I had a great time and made some lifelong friends!Jack Johnston , Teaching, Costa Rica -
I had a such an inspiring and life changing experience coaching in Costa Rica. The kids had such an appetite for coaching and their enthusiasm was infectious. My fellow coaches and I worked well as a team and I developed some truly great friends as a result.Charlie Blaken , Teaching, Costa Rica -
What a Blast! I can honestly say that I could not have had a better time in Costa Rica as I did. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and up for a laugh, all making it a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone, and might even come back at some point in the near future!Danny McVey , Teaching, Costa Rica -
I had a really great time in Costa Rica, honing my Spanish linguistic skills, and I really improved over the 2 weeks that I spent out there. I would like to thank all of the in-country staff for all the effort they put in, it was an intense and thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience.Lewis Worthington , Languages, Costa Rica -
This has been by far the most rewarding holiday I have been on. I'll be the first to admit that the idea of an educational holiday didn't at first appeal to me, but the improvements I made in the four weeks I spent out there means that my confidence in my Spanish has improved immensely.Charlie Jones , Languages, Costa Rica -
Costa Rica is not only a truly stunning country with welcoming, hospitable people, but it is also where I conquered my 'phobia' of speaking Spanish, and for this I am incredibly grateful. Such a rewarding and exhilarating experience in a wonderful country.Max Foster , Languages, Costa Rica -
Easily the most rewarding trip I have ever undertaken! To see the progress the local kids made in your time out there, under your tutelage, was so inspiring! Would highly recommend it!Joe Taylor , Teaching, Costa Rica -
What a trip! Spending 12 weeks in the stunning Costa Rican countryside, would have been a reward enough, but the bonds I made with my fellow travelling companions will last a lifetime, and my pride in my class of kids at the local school and the progress they made is a constant source of inspiration.Brett McCallum , Teaching, Costa Rica -
I honestly couldn't have had a better time in Costa Rica, and the short time that I spent there with my new found friends will be remembered with treasured memories. Also, the challenge of helping local kids to improve impressively in a short space of time, was a reward in itself.Callum Sutton , Teaching, Costa Rica -
"To be able to work behind the scenes on a game reserve in Africa has been a dream come true. Would love to do this all over again."Emma Agness , Wildlife & Conservation, South Africa
