Argentina
"Argentina is such a large country with so many different landscapes and attractions, that it is nearly impossible to see everything there is. My personal suggestions are the waterfalls of Iguazu and the cities of Salta and Mendoza. The waterfalls are a unique natural wonder located on the border with Brazil. I suggest first getting a panoramic view of them from the Brazilian side and afterwards viewing them up close from the Argentinian side." (translated, 2018)
This vibrant country of 45 million people is the second largest country in South America. Renowned for its architecture, the capitol, Buenos Aires, is often referred to as the Paris of South America. Argentina is also the birthplace of the Tango - one of the most dynamic and famous dances in the world. In Argentina, the University of Göttingen has two university partnerships: Universidad Nacional de La Plata and the Universidad Nacional de San Martin.
