In that respect, a large number of students from all over the world choose to profit from the broad academic offer of the second university in Latin America (Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, 1613).

The Argentine landscapes are well-known all over the world, and include colourful deserts, fruitful pampas, broad, peaceful beaches, snowy peaks and glaciers and massive waterfalls. Its cities, some dating from colonial times, offer a combination of tradition and a cosmopolitan vision of the world, qualities that make up the Argentine idiosyncrasy.
