If you’re in Guanajuato in late June, you’re in luck! Head to the southeast side of the city to Presa de la Olla, a dam built in the 1740s to provide the city with a dependable water supply. Every year around June 24, the reservoir is the place to be to celebrate the Fiestas de San Juan y Presa de la Olla with music, dancing, races, games, and plenty of food and drink. Any other time of the year, the reservoir is a peaceful place to row boats across the water, enjoy the green gardens, and taste the local cuisine at one of the bordering restaurants or food stands. And even if you miss the festival in June, you can experience festive fun every Sunday at the Embajadores market with music, food, and great atmosphere.

La Garrafa Nieves makes their own delicious ice cream or nieve (snow), as it’s called in Mexico. Local flavors go far beyond chocolate and vanilla: try queso (cheese), beso de ángel (who knew that angel kisses taste like cherry and nuts?), tequila, or any type of fruit you can think of. Its central location beside beautiful Plaza de la Paz, also known as Plaza Mayor, makes this spot the ideal place to try a wonderfully cold treat and take a break from walking around the city on a hot summer day.

Callejoneadas are a joyful nighttime tradition unique to the state of Guanajuato. A group of musicians in period costumes will accompany you on a nighttime tour of the city’s streets and plazas as they perform typical songs from Guanajuato and other regions of Mexico. They’ll also tell jokes and historical legends about the places you see. Many of Guanajuato’s buildings are brilliantly lit up at night, so this is the perfect way to see the city with cooler temperatures and enjoy live music at the same time. It’s also a good chance to practice your Spanish, as the traditional tours usually aren’t offered in other languages. (Of course, the best way to improve your Spanish during your trip to Guanaujuato is to take a Spanish course at don Quijote!).

There are three different places to find your callejoneada: look for the men and women dressed in costume at Jardín de la Unión, Plaza Central, or the steps of Juárez Theater. It generally lasts about two hours.

Strangely enough, the warm months are a very good time to do intensive tourism in the capital. We won’t deny that Buenos Aires has pretty high temperatures from December to March. However, this inconvenience has a big plus: its streets are significantly emptier because many inhabitants leave town in search of cooler areas.

This will allow you to visit the city’s monuments and take part in its festivals in a more relaxed way. Outdoor movies, Buenos Aires Playa, and the ecological reserve are just some of the best ways to enjoy being outside. You can also take advantage and visit the most popular museums of the capital without standing in line!

If you are up to trading your scarf for a swimming suit, Argentina is waiting for you! Besides an incredible vacation, you can live a unique linguistic immersion and improve your Spanish level with our programs in Buenos Aires and Cordoba.

When we talk about going on vacation, there are always people who confess they prefer the mountains to the beach. Summer is the best time of the year to enjoy camping in the forest, riding river rapids, or going climbing. In Argentina, you can do all this in January!

Cordoba is one of the best provinces to experience these kinds of adventures. Some cities, like Villa Carlos Paz, double their population during the summertime. Rafting, trekking, and hiking are great options in this amazing destination for adventure tourism.
