Known around the world for The Tango dance type, Buenos Aires has raised professionals, is home to major competitions and reigns as the place to dance. Buenos Aires is also considered to be one of the theater capitals of the world including internationally recognized Teatro Colon.
Argentina declared independence in 1816 and in the 1940s became increasingly authoritarian in efforts to combat the previous years of oligarchy. This was until a coup d’etat in 1976 led to years of military dictatorship. The country’s broad history is evident in Buenos Aires landmarks such as the Plaza de Mayo, Casa Rosado, and more.
Argentina is diverse when it comes to geography and biodiversity. Enjoy one of many national parks and forests, or travel south to explore Patagonia, a region in southern Argentina renowned for its natural beauty.
United Planet Quests are designed to be immersive, authentic, comprehensive and provide you everything you’ll need to succeed. The program elements allow you to engage fully with a new culture, forge strong relationships, and challenge yourself. Most importantly, we partner with the community to ensure your experience will be important, relevant and helpful to the community you serve.
Due to varying airline prices, United Planet does not arrange or cover the cost of flights to and from Argentina. However, we arrange all ground transportation to and from the airport in Argentina and will ensure that you arrive safely at orientation. Volunteers should arrive between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm any day of the week (January 16th to November 30th).
Spanish lessons can be provided at an extra cost upon request.

We want you to succeed. That means having in place the support our volunteers need. We don’t just drop you in country and hope for the best. We provide training before you leave … language exposure … 24/7 in-country support … support for your host family … accommodations, meals and airport transportation … activities and excursions. The whole idea is to make the experience successful and productive for you and the host community, and we have found that these things are crucial. Remember that we are a non-profit, mission-driven organization – we wouldn’t spend money on something that wasn’t important.
