You will be staying in a homestay with an Argentine host in Buenos Aires in a nice, residential neighborhood, with great public transportation access.
You will join your homestay hosts for dinner five nights a week from Sunday to Thursday, and your breakfast is included daily.
All homestays include a private bedroom, bedding, towels, weekly cleaning, and Wi-Fi access.
We carefully select homestay hosts that share our enthusiasm for cultural exchange. Hosts tend to be retired couples, a single adult, or a two-parent household with or without children. You will get to improve your Spanish through being fully immersed in Argentine culture!
“[My host parents] were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure I was cared for every step of the way during my sixth months. They helped me navigate buses, sewed my clothes when they ripped, helped my with my homework and so much more. They were central to my experience in BA.”
“If I were to tell you everything good I had to say about [my host mom], I think this form would crash. She is friendly, adventurous, convivial, welcoming, and hilarious. Dinners with her and my eventual Argentine roommate were absolutely one of the highlights of my entire experience. If anyone coming into Puentes has reservations about living in a homestay (as I did!) I would tell them to absolutely go for it - there’s no better way to really “live” in Argentina. (Or practice your Spanish, for that matter!)”
