Argentina!
In the winter of 2008 I spent a week in Ushauia, Argentina, just before getting on a boat to spend two weeks in Antarctica. Besides from the amazing Education Program at MSU, this study abroad program was one of the main reasons I chose to come to State. Our week in Argentina was spent hiking in the Andes mountains, learning about the history of Patagonia, studying Geology and Zoology, and getting to interact with the locals at Fin del Mundo (the end of the earth).
