The capital of the largest Spanish-speaking country on the continent, Buenos Aires is a bustling city of over 9 million people. Its French-style architecture, Italian heritage, and general cultural sophistication give it a distinctly elegant feel, earning it the nickname "The Paris of South America." The training center is located in Puerto Madero, a waterfront district considered to be one of the most fashionable areas of the city. Within walking distance are the many restaurants, bars, and cafés that make Puerto Madero popular with tourists and locals alike.

They embrace opportunities to share their own cultural identity with others, and to immerse themselves in new and different worlds.
